US EditionApple’s First Foldable iPhone Tipped for 2026 with Smaller Displays than Galaxy Z Fold 7
TAIWAN AND CHINA, JUL 23 – Apple aims to revitalize iPhone sales with a premium foldable model featuring a 7.8-inch inner and 5.5-inch outer display, launching in late 2026, analysts say.
- According to Taiwanese firm TrendForce via MacRumors, the forthcoming iPhone Fold features a 7.8-inch internal OLED display and a 5.5-inch exterior screen, trailing the Galaxy Z Fold 7’s larger panels.
- Years of prototype testing led Apple to adopt a book-style design after extensive prototypes, with experts noting a trade-off of screen area for portability and premium appeal.
- Engineering details reveal Apple’s collaboration with Samsung Display and a metal plate reduces bending stress for a nearly crease-free inner screen.
- The foldable iPhone’s projected $1,800 to $2,000 starting price underscores its premium positioning, and TrendForce predicts foldables will stay niche until key challenges are solved.
- Further specifications are likely to surface in the coming months, as Foxconn entered the New Product Introduction phase earlier this year, with mass production slated for H2 2026.
