Apple Leaks Point to $2,399 iPhone Fold With 7.8-Inch Screen in Late 2026

Summary
iOS 27 developer beta code has surfaced the clearest signs yet of Apple’s foldable iPhone, including references to folded and unfolded states such as “mechanicalAngleDegrees” and “angleDegrees.”
Those clues are reinforced by new dummy units and renders that point to a book-style, wide foldable design, plus widget and developer tools in iOS 27 that appear built for changing screen layouts.
Rumored hardware centers on a 7.8-inch inner OLED display, 5.5-inch outer screen, Touch ID, four cameras and a hinge that may use liquid metal for durability and a less visible crease.
Pricing is expected around $2,399, with launch timing still pegged to late 2026—possibly alongside the iPhone 18 line, though some reports suggest shipments could slip to December.
IDC estimates Apple could take more than 22% of foldable unit share and 34% of market value in its first year, underscoring how a late entry could still reshape the category.
