Apple's first foldable iPhone expected to launch next year

Apple’s first foldable iPhone is tipped to arrive next year, focusing on a slim design, a hidden selfie camera and a return to Touch ID instead of Face ID. The device aims for a thin body among its key features.

Reports indicate that Apple's first foldable iPhone could launch in 2026. Dubbed the iPhone Fold, it will emphasize a slim design. Key features include a hidden selfie camera, differing from traditional notch or punch-hole setups. Additionally, it will revert to Touch ID for biometric authentication instead of Face ID, potentially suiting the foldable form factor.

This information comes from a report by India Today, published on December 16, 2025. Apple has not yet officially confirmed the details, but it signals the company's entry into the foldable market. The slim body appears to address challenges in foldable devices.

Apple is reportedly developing a small AI-enabled wearable device resembling a pin, similar in size to an AirTag but slightly thicker. The device features cameras, microphones, and a speaker to interact with AI models. It could launch as early as 2027 amid competition from OpenAI and Meta.

Building on late-2025 reports of production progress and crease-free displays, fresh leaks point to a late-2026 launch for Apple's book-style foldable iPhone, with detailed specs including dimensions, cameras, and a potential $2,000+ price tag.

The year 2025 proved unexpectedly exciting for smartphones, according to WIRED's phone reviewer. Devices ranged from affordable $130 models to high-end $2,000 options, offering diverse styles not seen in recent years. iPhones and Pixels appeared conventional compared to thinner, more transparent, and foldable newcomers.
