Apple’s foldable iPhone, a long-rumored device, is reportedly nearing production, with a potential launch as early as next year. This device, tentatively named the iPhone Fold, is expected to have a high price point due to the significant cost of its specialized components, such as the display panel, hinge, and other lightweight materials. The focus on these high-cost materials suggests that the project has entered an advanced stage of development.
According to leaked reports, Apple has internally finalized its display solution for the foldable iPhone. This represents a significant milestone, addressing a challenge that Android manufacturers have been working to perfect for several years.
Separately, Apple is reportedly building anticipation for its future standard models. The iPhone 18 series is scheduled for release next September, which is still ten months away.
According to reports, Apple’s upcoming foldable iPhone may be the first in the industry to incorporate a 24-megapixel under-display camera, paving the way for a true full-screen device. According to Fubon Research, the iPhone Fold is expected to cost around $2,399.
A report from JP Morgan suggests that several future Apple products will feature an upgraded 24MP front-facing camera. This enhancement is expected to be included in the iPhone 18, iPhone 18 Pro/Max, the next-generation iPhone Air, and Apple’s first foldable iPhone. The new camera aims to deliver clearer selfies and improve the resolution and detail in portrait photography.
