In this week’s episode of The MacRumors Show, we discuss the latest updates and rumors surrounding Apple’s highly anticipated foldable iPhone. There have been numerous reports indicating that the launch is set for next year, with full-scale prototyping having begun last month.
Additionally, Samsung has started production on the OLED displays that will be used in the device, which is expected to debut alongside the iPhone 18 lineup. Anticipated features of the foldable iPhone include a 7.8-inch inner display, a 5.5-inch outer display, and a distinctive hinge design.
The device will likely house two rear cameras—one wide and one ultra-wide—along with one front-facing camera and a Touch ID power button, departing from the Face ID used in recent models. In terms of dimensions, the foldable iPhone is expected to measure around 4.5mm when unfolded and between 9mm and 9.5mm when folded, while the latest Galaxy Z Fold 7 has slightly different measurements.
Apple aims to stand out with a “crease-free” display, utilizing an innovative design that incorporates a metal plate to manage the stress caused by bending. This breakthrough could set a new industry standard.
Pricing is anticipated to range from $1,800 to $2,000, which aligns closely with Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 7 that begins at $1,999.99.
