Foldable iPhone could appear as early as 2026: Apple is preparing to launch

Rumors about a foldable iPhone have been circulating for several years, but now it appears that progress is finally being made.

Apple is taking this project seriously and has decided to partner with Samsung Display, which could become the leading supplier of flexible OLED displays for the new device, according to a report by itechua.

According to Korean sources, Samsung Display plans to start manufacturing panels for the foldable iPhone in the fourth quarter of 2025, with a full announcement of the device expected in the second half of 2026. That is, if you dreamed of an iPhone that folds like a book, you will have to wait a little longer.

Apple always approaches the matter with special care. The choice in favor of Samsung was not made by chance: this manufacturer possesses the necessary technologies and experience in the mass production of premium displays. To meet the requirements of the order, Samsung is adapting one of its production lines, which indicates a high level of trust in Apple and the presence of long-term relationships.

While other companies are already showing off their flexible models, Apple is choosing the path to enter the market not first, but best. It is expected that the foldable iPhone will become not just a novelty but a real breakthrough due to its innovative design, software optimization, and proprietary approach to the interface.

2026 is already very close, isn’t it?

Recall that the latest news indicates that the iPhone 17 Pro Max will receive the largest battery in the entire line.
