Slowly, the eagerly awaited foldable Apple iPhone is turning into a reality. A recent report by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman highlights several features of the upcoming device, anticipated to be unveiled in the fall of 2026.

Apple’s first foldable phone is reported to follow a book-style design, opening vertically into a compact tablet format. It will include four cameras: two on the rear, one inside, and one at the front. It is expected to eliminate Face ID in favor of Touch ID embedded in the power button, akin to some iPads.

Prominent features comprise new display technology aimed at reducing the crease in the open screen. The foldable iPhone will use Apple’s C2 modem, the same chip found in the iPhone 18 Pro series. Furthermore, it is said to not include a physical SIM card slot.

These details are in line with Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo’s previous report, which also indicated a 7.8-inch inner display, a 5.5-inch outer display, and a thickness ranging from 9 to 9.5mm when closed.

This initiative is part of Apple’s plan to update its product lineup over three years, beginning with the iPhone 17 Air this September, followed by the foldable iPhone the following year, and concluding in 2027 with the “iPhone 20,” a special anniversary edition featuring curved glass edges.

Should the report prove accurate, thrilling advancements are in store for iPhone fans. Nevertheless, nothing is official until Apple makes a formal announcement. The three-year strategy begins shortly with the iPhone 17 launch.
