Apple Advances Foldable Device Plans with iPhone and Hybrid MacBook-iPad

The foldable iPhone and a larger macOS hybrid device are in development, with launches expected in late 2026 or early 2027.

Apple's foldable iPhone will feature a 7.8-inch inner display and a 5.5-inch outer display, with a book-style folding design.
The foldable iPhone is expected to launch in late 2026 or early 2027, priced around $2,300, nearly double the cost of the iPhone 16 Pro Max.
A larger foldable hybrid device with an 18.8-inch display is under development and will likely run macOS, bridging MacBook and iPad functionalities.
Both devices have entered the New Product Introduction (NPI) phase at Foxconn, with mass production planned for the second half of 2026.
Apple is focusing on advanced materials like titanium, nearly creaseless displays, and improved power efficiency to enhance durability and performance.
