During a trip to Asia, his team met with hardware makers and learned that the supply chain is discussing more than one foldable iPhone model that could launch in late 2026 or early 2027, he said.

Previously, according to a report from analyst Ming Chi Kuo, the foldable iPhone model has an approximately 7.8-inch "no-fold" screen inside and a 5.5-inch screen on the outside.

It is known that the foldable iPhone will be 9 to 9.5mm thick when folded and 4.5 to 4.8mm thick when opened. The device will use a titanium aluminum shell with a hinge made of stainless steel and titanium aluminum. The back is a dual camera cluster and the front has only one camera.

Ming-Chi Kuo also believes that the foldable iPhone will remove the Face ID facial authentication feature with a Touch ID sensor on the side to save space inside. Notably, the device is also considered an AI phone model when the larger screen brings better AI multitasking capabilities.

The analyst also revealed that the model will launch around late 2026, early 2027 with a selling price of more than 2,000 USD.

According to a report from analyst Jeff Pu, Apple will start mass production of foldable iPhones by the end of 2026.

Pu predicts a weak iPhone sales outlook in 2025, as Apple delays some personalized Siri features until next year. However, he believes foldable devices will boost Foxconn's business in 2026.

However, the price of the foldable iPhone is still just a prediction and may change over time.
