Apple is reportedly preparing to enter the foldable phone market with its first device, tentatively named the ‘iPhone Fold.’ The device is expected to debut alongside the iPhone 18 Pro series later this year. Recent reports suggest details about the phone’s design and materials are emerging.
According to sources, the ‘iPhone Fold’ will feature a hinge constructed from liquid metal, a material Apple has been experimenting with for over 15 years. This is expected to significantly enhance the hinge’s durability and reduce stress from repeated folding and unfolding. The main body of the phone will reportedly be made from a new titanium alloy, offering greater strength while maintaining a lighter weight compared to recent iPhone models. This indicates Apple’s focus on achieving a balance of strength, lightness, and overall robustness.
Dimensionally, the ‘iPhone Fold’ is rumored to sport a 7.76-inch internal display and a 5.49-inch external screen. It is also expected to feature a dual-lens rear camera system. The device is projected to be available for purchase in early 2027.
With this design approach, Apple seems to be aiming to deliver a distinctive model in the foldable phone category. The company is focusing on material and hinge innovation to ensure a superior user experience. Several other companies have been developing foldable phones for years, but Apple’s entry is highly anticipated due to its reputation for quality and innovation.
