iPhone Fold gets major 2026 release date boost, but expect a huge price tag

What’s happened? The much-rumored iPhone Fold has been tipped to arrive next year, and now Wall Street firm JP Morgan has pitched in to add fuel to the foldable iPhone fire for 2026.

This is important because: it adds further weight to reports suggesting we will finally see Apple dip its toe in the foldable waters next year.

Why should I care? Apple launching the iPhone Fold would be huge for the foldable market. While a number of Android manufacturers are pressing ahead with their foldable series, the form factor hasn’t exploded in popularity. Apple getting into the game could change that.

Okay, what’s next? Before we get too ahead of ourselves, Apple has some unfinished business in 2025 – with the iPhone 17 series expected to launch in September.
