Apple is reportedly preparing to launch its highly anticipated foldable iPhone next year, offering a design that could revolutionise the smartphone market. According to Bloomberg\u2019s Mark Gurman, the device is expected to resemble two iPhone Air models placed side by side, featuring an ultra-thin titanium chassis.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Design inspired by iPhone Air?<\/h2>\n

The foldable iPhone is said to be the culmination of Apple\u2019s experimentation with the iPhone Air<\/a>, suggesting that the Air may have served as a testing ground for foldable technology. Gurman described the design as a \u201ctechnical achievement\u201d that emphasises both elegance and durability.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In terms of production, the foldable iPhone is likely to be manufactured primarily in China, despite earlier reports hinting at assembly in India. Gurman indicated that at least a portion of production will take place in China.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Expected pricing and availability<\/h2>\n

Price-wise, the device is expected to carry a premium, with estimates starting around $2,000, aligning with previous speculation that suggested a range between $2,100 and $2,300.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

As for availability, Apple<\/a> is anticipated to unveil the foldable iPhone alongside the iPhone 18 series next autumn, with a possible release in October or November. The September 2026 event is expected to mark the official announcement, continuing Apple\u2019s tradition of autumn product launches.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The introduction of a foldable iPhone could mark a major leap in smartphone design, blending cutting-edge materials and form factors in a device unlike anything Apple has released before.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In separate news, Apple\u2019s latest iPhone Air, now the slimmest model in the lineup, has been examined by repair experts at iFixit, revealing a design that combines striking thinness with surprisingly practical repair options. At just 5.6mm in thickness, this marks the most substantial redesign of the iPhone series<\/a> in recent years.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Camera configuration and internal layout<\/strong>
iFixit\u2019s teardown highlights that Apple adopted a unique approach to fit all components into the ultra-slim frame. The company introduced a raised camera section, or \u201ccamera plateau,\u201d which incorporates part of the logic board within the camera bump itself. This clever arrangement not only makes room for a robust metal-encased battery but also helps shield the logic board from potential bending or stress.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
