Apple is advancing development of its foldable iPhone, with Mark Gurman reporting that the design will look like two titanium iPhone Airs joined side-by-side. This ultra-thin form factor would make it one of Apple’s most ambitious engineering efforts yet.
The foldable model is expected to headline Apple’s 2026 product lineup, aligning with the company’s usual fall launch schedule. While some speculation pointed to production in India, Foxconn in China remains a central manufacturing partner, alongside Apple’s broader supplier network.
Pricing is projected to start around $2,000, positioning the foldable iPhone as Apple’s priciest device to date. Despite the high cost, analysts anticipate strong demand as Apple enters the foldable market for the first time, potentially reshaping its premium smartphone strategy.
