Apple, the titan of the smartphone market, is finally stepping into the foldable arena next year! After considerable delays primarily due to concerns about the unsightly crease in foldable screens, the tech giant is ready to unveil its innovative device.

According to reports from Business Korea, the breakthrough has come from none other than Samsung Display, the exclusive supplier solving this pressing issue. This means the long-anticipated foldable iPhone could hit the market as early as the second half of 2026, a significant milestone for Apple, which typically sources displays from multiple suppliers including LG and BOE.

Rumored specs suggest that this foldable marvel will sport a 5.5-inch OLED cover screen, complemented by a larger 7.8-inch main display, designed in a book-style format. This means it’s gearing up to give Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold8 some serious competition!

Be prepared to open your wallet wide! Early estimates place the price tag of the foldable iPhone at over $2,000, and given current trade tariffs, that price might even soar higher.

As for production, insiders report that Apple aims to manufacture at least 9 million units annually, with the potential to scale up to 15 million. It looks like Apple has big plans for its entry into the foldable phone market!
