APPLE is expected to release a foldable iPhone, potentially by the end of 2026 or early 2027, rumoured to be a book-style foldable, similar to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold.

The iPhone Fold is a long-rumoured smartphone that Apple has reportedly been working on for years and the price to consumers could be extremely high relative to the typical iPhone releases.

 It's anticipated to have a 5.5-inch cover display and a 7.8-inch main display and could be priced between US$2,000 and US$2,500.

According to reports, it will have another feature that has yet to appear in any Apple phone - a camera embedded under the screen for Face ID.

While some reports suggest a 2026 release, others point to a 2027 launch, potentially coinciding with the iPhone's 20th anniversary.

Apple remains the only major smartphone maker not offering a folding phone.

Challenges with the hinge and the display screen have reportedly held up the development.
