Dubbed the &#8220;iPhone Fold&#8221; or potentially &#8220;iPhone Ultra,&#8221; the device promises a premium book-style design that blends phone and tablet functionality. While Apple has not confirmed details, consistent leaks from Ming-Chi Kuo, Mark Gurman, Jeff Pu and others outline key expectations. Here are 10 things the industry anticipates from Apple&#8217;s first foldable iPhone.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"cap\">iPhone Foldable<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Book-Style Design with Dual Displays<\/strong> The foldable will adopt a book-style mechanism similar to Samsung&#8217;s Galaxy Z Fold series, unfolding into a tablet-like screen. When closed, it features a 5.3- to 5.5-inch outer display for standard phone use. Unfolded, the inner screen measures approximately 7.7 to 7.8 inches \u2014 close to an iPad mini \u2014 enabling enhanced multitasking and productivity.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Virtually Crease-Free Inner Screen<\/strong> A major selling point is the near-elimination of the visible crease that plagues most foldables. Apple reportedly uses advanced display tech, including a metal plate to distribute bending stress, liquid metal hinges for durability, and a tougher protective film layer. Sources claim the inner panel will appear almost seamless even after repeated folding.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ultra-Thin Profile<\/strong> Thickness remains a priority, with the device expected to measure 9 to 9.5 mm folded and 4.5 to 4.8 mm unfolded \u2014 rivaling or beating current iPhone thinness. This slim build, combined with a titanium-aluminum hybrid frame for strength and heat dissipation, aims to deliver premium feel without bulk.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Massive Battery Capacity<\/strong> Rumors point to a 5,500 mAh battery \u2014 the largest ever in an iPhone \u2014 far surpassing the 5,088 mAh in the iPhone 17 Pro Max. The extra power supports the larger unfolded screen, multitasking demands and always-on features without sacrificing battery life.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Touch ID Instead of Face&#8230;<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ibtimes.com.au\/video-10-things-expect-apples-foldable-iphone-2026-latest-rumors-features-1863279\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(VIDEO) 10 Things to Expect from Apple&#8217;s Foldable iPhone in 2026: Latest Rumors and Features&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":223551,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/d.ibtimes.com.au\/en\/full\/1892152\/iphone-foldable.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[120],"tags":[80,81],"class_list":["post-223550","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-iphone","tag-iphone-17","tag-iphone-18"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/223550"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=223550"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/223550\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":223552,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/223550\/revisions\/223552"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/223551"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=223550"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=223550"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=223550"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
