Apple is now projected to launch its first ever foldable device in 2026. It has been thought to be most comparable to Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold7 on its launch – however, according to a new leak, it might look more like a different smartphone instead.<\/p>\n

Huawei has pioneered the ‘16:10 foldable<\/a>‘ smartphone in 2025 with a device footprint now thought to be adopted in Apple’s own first-gen foldable device. <\/p>\n

Now, it seems that the “iPhone Fold<\/a>” will actually be bigger than the Pura X<\/a> with a main screen measuring 7.7 inches in diagonal length, as asserted by the famous leaker Digital Chat Station<\/a>. <\/p>\n

It is also tipped to have a cover display<\/a> measuring 5.5 inches…which might mean the iPhone Fold might in fact look most like a fellow inaugural foldable than any other<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The 7.8\/5.8-inch Google\u00a0Pixel Fold<\/a> had a deeply unusual wide form-factor of its own on its launch with its 17.4:9 cover display, although it was ditched for one that conferred a much more normal 20:9 counterpart on its Pixel 9 Pro Fold<\/a> successor. <\/p>\n

It seems it is good enough for Apple<\/a>, though, as it is reportedly aspiring for a much more unusual ~14:1<\/a> aspect-ratio in the “iPhone Fold’s” outer display, while the inner display might be closer to 4:3. <\/p>\n

The device is also thought to be the first to support certain iOS 26 features<\/a>, and also the first to restore Touch ID<\/a> to iPhones after so many generations. <\/p>\n

The Pixel Fold: now $499<\/a>\u00a0in refurbished condition on Amazon<\/p>\n

I became a professional writer and editor shortly after graduation. My degrees are in biomedical sciences; however, they led to some experience in the biotech area, which convinced me of its potential to revolutionize our health, environment and lives in general. This developed into an all-consuming interest in more aspects of tech over time: I can never write enough on the latest electronics, gadgets and innovations. My other interests include imaging, astronomy, and streaming all the things. Oh, and coffee. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An iPhone Fold-like device(?).
