What happens when Apple refers for years and then finally launches something on the market that Samsung sells since the time of the Tiktok Dance Challenge? Probably something very precious. The Apple iPhone Fold will arrive in 2026, but first there will be the Apple iPhone Air, which will probably be the base for an ultra -thin folding phone.
Melathe king of slow cooking innovation is preparing (finally!) To enter the world of folding smartphones. Apple iPhone 11 Pro Max 2026 is coming! If we believe in the latest information from reliable sources (read: from the same Internet from which the theory of the flat earth originated), the first folding iPhone – unofficially called iPhone 11 – It is expected that it will see the light between the end of 2026 and the beginning of 2027. And yes, obviously it will be expensive. Very expensive.
Apple + Samsung + LG = the new folding beast
For years Apple has been holding collaborations with the best companies in the sector.
Industry – Samsung (yes, precisely Samsung) and LG – with a goal in mind: to create a folding display that did not seem as if someone had passed over it with a bicycle. Samsung is said to be the supplier of the OLED screens, since it has more experience with the fold and flip series than most people with natural tan. So the Apple iPhone Fold will arrive in 2026, also with the help of solid partners.
Apple iPhone Fold arriving in 2026: double screen for double use (and double the price)
Apparently the iPhone Fold will be equipped with two screens:
- External display: 5.5 inches, suitable for quickly controlling notifications, weather apps and, of course, to look at you while you look at you.
- Folding screen for interior: 7.8 -inch OLED, almost like a mini iPad, only you can bend it as a book without guilt.
Both screens are characterized by the high resolution and pixel density that we expect from Apple, so they will be wonderful until your child pour apple juice everywhere on the device.
A fold fold? Magic (and liquid metal courses)
Apple would be developing a visualization technology without a visible fold – Almost a miracle, if you don’t remember that it was Apple who announced the AirPower charger three years ago. The key to success is said to be in the courses of liquid metal alloywhich is twice more resistant than titanium (but is probably no longer resistant to falls from the third floor).
Bonus: Apple has patents for self-aging screenwho heals the micrographers alone. Finally something that behaves more adult than us.
Dimensions: thinner than a catwalk in Paris
The iPhone Fold bent is said to be between 9 e 9,5 mmbut only elongated 4,5 mm. If it were true, it would be the thinnest iPhone ever and perhaps the only one that you would accidentally use as a cutter.

Energy efficiency: thinner battery, more power
Apple is developing a new system with advanced features Chip dd da 16 nmwhich reduce consumption and allow the use of thinner batteries. We talk about flexible batteries capacity 5.000 mAhwho would be the first Apple device not to go out in the middle of the day.
Cameras: one inside, two outside, all intelligent
- External camera: classic selfie camera with a cutout on the screen.
- Internal camera: presumably hidden under the screen, with “Meta Lens” technology (whatever it means, but sounds futuristic).
- Rear sensors: main and ultra-grandans, because apparently life is too short for tight shots.
Price: let’s just say that your bank account will not be impressed
The iPhone Fold is said to be between 2,000 and 2,500 US dollars – which means between 1,850 and 2,300 eurosdepending on the path and your willingness to risk personal financial ruin.
It will be the most expensive iPhone of all time. Yes, even more expensive than some MacBooks. Apple clearly matters that you don’t need a holiday. And honestly, with the iPhone Fold in hand, you may not really need it.
Competition? Samsung reigns already sovereign, but Apple will make a sensation
Samsung is almost a decade of advantage with the Fold and Flip models, but Apple rely on his faithful base of fans. Analysts foresee up to 5 million units sold In the first year, with the possibility of a second generation already in 2027.
Conclusion: will Apple finally abandon the ego or only the screen?
The iPhone Fold will undoubtedly be a technological gem: elegant, thin, very expensive and permeated by the motto “Less is more”, typical of Apple, except when it comes to price. If Apple will be able to keep all the promises (without delays and “only in selected markets”), in 2026 we will assist at the beginning of a new era of folding devices, an era in which the phone will also be a fashion accessory, a status symbol and, frankly, a new form of self -satisfaction.
