CUPERTINO – Apple has officially started production of its first-ever foldable iPhone, which is set to launch in 2026, marking a major shift in the company’s smartphone strategy.
The foldable iPhone will feature a 7.58-inch flexible display that works both as a regular phone and a tablet. It will have a 14.1:10 aspect ratio and a sharp 2713 x 1920 resolution, ensuring a high-quality viewing experience whether folded or unfolded.
In a surprising move, Apple has partnered with Samsung Display—a leader in OLED and foldable screen technology—to supply the exclusive displays for the device. This collaboration highlights Apple’s focus on using the best available technology, even if it means teaming up with a key competitor.
Tech analysts believe the foldable iPhone will resemble Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold series, offering users a larger screen that can still fit into a pocket. The device is expected to combine the portability of a smartphone with the functionality of a tablet, appealing to those who want both in one gadget.
Apple’s entry into the foldable phone market could redefine how users interact with their devices and push other smartphone makers to step up their innovation.
