The foldable iPhone has become something like the horns in the leak land. We know that it will eventually come out, but the date of its projection and specs are a matter of numerous guess. Renowned analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has returned with his recent report, indicating that the first Apple Pal Foldable will begin at the end of 2026. We also found some more spec details, which is always a welcome addition.
Keep in mind that all this information is just speculation at this time, so it should be taken accordingly.
Apple Pal is going for a 5.5-inch external screen and a book-style foldable iPhone with a 7.8-inch OLED display. The main display is “crease-free” thanks to an advanced hinge mechanism. The Kuu shares that Bright Laser Technologies (BLT) is a leading supplier for foldable iPhone hinges and midframe.
Both of those components are made of their thin profiles with stainless steel and titanium, which require advanced 3D printing technology, which Oppo was similar to what he did with his N5.

In addition, the foldable iPhone will Town Get Face ID and actually show a unified touch ID fingerprint reader in the side power button. The Kuo guesses that this move will help the device maintain a slimmer profile.
The foldable iPhone will measure only 4.5-4.8 mm and 9-9.5 mm when folded in its revealed position. The casing pro model is made of titanium like iPhones. Dual-lens setup is displayed on the back of the device. Both cover and main screens are getting front-facing cameras.

It expects the Apple Pal to send between 3-5 million units in 2026, while the second-gen version is expected to reach 20 million shipments in 2027.
