The iPhone Fold: What to Expect from Apple’s Groundbreaking New Device

According to Mark Gurman, Apple’s first foldable iPhone, the iPhone Fold, is expected to resemble “two iPhone Airs placed side by side” when folded and to unfold flat, with a titanium alloy chassis aimed at balancing sleekness and durability. The report suggests the device could push the boundaries of thinness in today’s foldable smartphones, building on the ultra-thin philosophy introduced with this year’s iPhone Air.

Production is expected to remain centred in China, with potential diversification to other regions being explored to mitigate supply chain risks. Pricing is anticipated to start at at least $2,000, with estimates ranging between $2,100 and $2,300, targeting premium customers and early adopters. The foldable iPhone is expected to debut alongside the iPhone 18 series in September 2026, though mass-production delays could push the launch to October or November, mirroring past staggered rollouts.
