Apple may launch its first foldable iPhone in September with a book-style design featuring a 7.8-inch foldable AMOLED display and a 5.5-inch cover display. A book-style fold rather than a flip form factor would put Apple's first foldable in more direct competition with Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold series than with compact flip phones.
Apple has historically waited years after competitors establish a new form factor before entering it, allowing the company to observe hinge durability and software adaptation challenges play out in rivals' products first — a foldable iPhone arriving now would follow that same cautious pattern.
We'll update this piece with confirmed specifications and pricing as Apple moves closer to any official announcement.
