CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: Apple is reportedly preparing to launch its first-ever foldable iPhone in 2026, marking a major shift in the design philosophy of its flagship product. According to supply chain sources and industry analysts, the tech giant is actively testing prototypes and collaborating with display manufacturers to develop a reliable and user-friendly foldable device.
Unlike traditional smartphones, the foldable iPhone is expected to feature a flexible OLED screen, potentially allowing for a book-style design or a clamshell flip format, similar to offerings from Samsung and Motorola. The phone may also include reinforced hinges, enhanced water resistance, and a new version of iOS optimized for multitasking on a larger display.
Apple has reportedly delayed its foldable plans in the past to ensure durability and user experience meet its high standards. If released in 2026, the device will compete directly with other foldables in the premium smartphone segment.
While Apple has yet to officially confirm the launch, tech enthusiasts and analysts are closely monitoring patents, leaks, and supplier movements for further clues. More details are expected in upcoming WWDC or product keynote events.
