Apple preparing to produce foldable iPhone screen?

(Dan Tri) - According to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Foxconn will begin producing foldable screen iPhones for Apple around September or October.

The move is aimed at ensuring the company's plans to launch the device in 2026. Although that timeframe is approaching, Kuo said many of the product's specifications have yet to be decided by the company.

However, the most important component, the folding screen, will be manufactured by partner Samsung Display. Many previous leaks said that the folding screen iPhone will have a screen size of about 5.5 inches when folded and 7.8 inches when opened.

The product will have a horizontal folding design similar to the Galaxy Z Fold devices. The foldable iPhone is expected to be 4.5mm thin when opened and 9.5mm when folded. Apple is said to be working on improving the hinge design to bring a crease-free screen.

Due to space constraints, Apple’s new lineup is unlikely to feature the Face ID facial recognition system. Instead, the company may bring back the Touch ID fingerprint sensor.

According to MacRumors, the foldable iPhone will have a 4:3 aspect ratio when opened. This aspect ratio is similar to the aspect ratio on the company's iPad devices.

This screen ratio is considered to bring a balanced experience when used in both portrait and landscape modes, making the device more useful when reading text and multitasking with multiple applications at the same time.

Previously, analyst Ross Young said Apple would enter the foldable phone market in the second half of 2026. The company's product is expected to cost around $2,600.

"Apple's leading position in the smartphone industry promises to help the foldable phone market grow significantly by 2026. Apple is likely to create a record growth year for this segment," Young shared.

CEO Tim Cook first talked to the company's engineers and designers about a foldable iPhone in 2018. The company has since weighed in on technical issues and the high price tag.

The company's design team wanted to create a foldable phone that wouldn't be as thick as current iPhone models, but limitations in battery and display technology have become a barrier to development.
