Apple's long-rumored foldable iPhone, often dubbed the iPhone Fold, appears on track for a late 2026 debut, with fresh supply-chain reports and analyst predictions pointing to mass production ramp-up this summer and a September unveiling alongside premium iPhone 18 models.
The device, which has been in development for years under intense secrecy, would mark Apple's first major departure from traditional slab-style smartphones since the original iPhone in 2007. Multiple credible sources, including analysts Ming-Chi Kuo and Jeff Pu, indicate the foldable will launch in the second half of 2026, likely as part of a revamped lineup that prioritizes high-end offerings amid component constraints and strategic shifts.
