iPhone Fold Enters Trial Production Phase Ahead of 2026 Launch
MacRumors • • technology
Key Points:
- Apple partner Foxconn has begun trial production of the iPhone Fold, with mass production expected to start in July if no issues arise during testing.
- The iPhone Fold is slated for a 2026 launch, likely after the iPhone 18 Pro, potentially debuting as late as December despite a joint announcement at the September event.
- The foldable iPhone will feature a ~5.5-inch screen when closed and a ~7.8-inch screen when open, using a wider 4:3 aspect ratio similar to an iPad, distinguishing it from other foldable smartphones.
- To achieve a thin 4.5mm profile when open, Apple will omit a triple-lens camera and Face ID, instead opting for a Touch ID side button, while focusing on minimizing the crease for a nearly invisible fold.
