JAKARTA The iPhone Fold is again predicted to launch in 2026, strengthening a series of rumors and speculations about Apple's first foldable smartphone.
The iPhone Fold has long been rumored to be in development and is getting closer to the final stage as a finished product. Based on Mark Gurman's latest report in the Bloomberg weekly bulletin, he estimates that the folding device of the Cupertino-based company will be coming in 2026.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold Similar Design
According to Gurman, the iPhone Fold design will likely resemble the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold, which is a phone with a foldable internal screen like a book, as well as a more conventional external screen.
In terms of specifications, this device is expected to adopt many technologies used on the iPhone 17 Air. Previously, the iPhone 17 Air was rumored to have a Camera Control button, a 48MP single rear camera, and various internal changes to the battery to produce thinner designs.
In addition, the C1 modem is also said to be present in this model, and will most likely be embedded in the iPhone Fold.

Release Schedules Can Still Change
Gurman's launch prediction in 2026 is in line with various previous analyses and leaks. In March, analyst Jeff Pu said that the iPhone Fold could be released by the end of 2026. Meanwhile, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo estimates that mass production will begin in the second half of 2026, with a possible launch between the end of 2026 and early 2027.
Even though these rumors are getting stronger, only Apple really knows the exact schedule for the launch of the iPhone Fold. However, with the increasing number of leaks leading to 2026, it is likely that the first foldable smartphone from Apple will indeed arrive in the not too distant future.
Apart from the iPhone Fold, Apple is also reportedly developing a foldable iPad or MacBook, which according to recent speculations, won't be released before 2027 or even 2028.
