Apple is developing its first foldable smartphone, expected to launch in 2026, Bloomberg reports citing journalist Mark Gurman.

The device will feature four cameras: two rear, one front, and one internal. Instead of Face ID, the phone will have a Touch ID fingerprint scanner.

There are conflicting reports about the design: Gurman states it will fold like a book, similar to Samsung’s foldable models. However, other sources suggest it will fold like a flip phone, akin to the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip.

The foldable iPhone will be equipped with Apple’s own C2 cellular modem, which is similar in specs to the latest Qualcomm chip. This modem may also be used in future iPhone 18 Pro models.

The device won’t have a physical SIM card slot, in line with Apple’s move towards eSIM technology. Currently, two color options are being tested — black and white.

Earlier reports from Wall Street Journal and The Information also indicated Apple’s plans to launch a foldable iPhone in 2026, confirming the company’s strong intention to enter the foldable smartphone market.
