Apple is gearing up to launch its first foldable iPhone, internally referred to as project V68, with mass production expected to begin in early 2026.
According to Bloomberg, the handset will adopt a book-like folding mechanism, similar to Samsung’s foldable lineup, and once unfolded, it is likely to function as a compact tablet.
The device is rumored to feature four cameras — a front-facing lens, an internal sensor, and a dual-camera array on the rear.
Apple is reportedly testing black and white finishes for this upcoming foldable iPhone.
Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has predicted that the handset will feature a 5.5-inch cover screen along with a 7.8-inch foldable panel inside, which would be slightly smaller than Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold7’s 8-inch inner display.
Apple’s first foldable iPhone is expected to launch as a premium device, with pricing projected to be close to $2,000.
Earlier reports had suggested an even higher entry cost of about $2,300.
The device is also rumored to omit a physical SIM tray and might rely on Touch ID rather than Face ID, which some may view as a step back from features offered on today’s iPhones.
