US EditionApple iPhone 18 Fold Is Coming Soon: 5 Biggest Rumors and Leaks Going Into 2026
Apple aims to revitalize its iPhone lineup with a foldable model featuring five cameras and Touch ID, entering a market expected to reach 19 million units in 2025, analysts say.
- Mark Gurman reported Apple plans to release the iPhone Fold next year, with suppliers preparing mass production early next year for a fall 2026 launch.
- As part of its three-year plan, Apple integrates the iPhone Fold into a roadmap starting with the iPhone 17 Air and culminating in a design overhaul in 2027.
- Gurman says the device will adopt a book-style fold with a less-visible screen crease, in-cell touch, Touch ID, Apple's C2 modem, and no physical SIM-card slot.
- Analysts note foldables market share is about 1–2%, but JPMorgan projects Apple could drive sales of 45 million foldables by 2028 despite $1,999 and $1,800 price indications for early adopters and premium buyers.
- Apple's arrival could legitimize foldables and spur mainstream adoption, forcing developers to adapt apps for multi-panel displays and intensifying competition with Samsung and Google.
