- The iPhone fold could be an annual version, from 2026
- This should see him take the place of Pro Max as the annual version of the first
- Apple apparently seeks to stand out from other foldable phones
It seems that Apple may be betting on the fold of rumor iPhone – also known as the foldable iPhone – because it is only a unique experience or an occasional version like Apple models, a new report indicates that there will be a new year each year.
According to the South Korean and News site (via Phone Arena), the first foldable iPhone – which, according to this site, will land in 2026 – will be the first of many, the new type of handset probably taking the place of Pro Max at the top of the iPhone line.
In addition to launching it as the most high -end iPhone, Apple would also have sought to differentiate the foldable iPhone from its competitors such as the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6. This report repeats previous rumors by saying that this could be achieved thanks to a smaller display fold and a better hinge.
The most expensive iPhone to date
Of course, foldable phones are expensive, and if Apple positions the foldable iPhone above the iPhone 16 Pro Max – as is likely – then it could have an extremely high price.
Indeed, a recent leak suggested that the foldable iPhone could cost between $ 2,100 and $ 2,500 (approximately £ 1,580 at £ 1,730 / $ 3,300 at $ 3,630).
So, even if this phone will probably not be before before 2026 (and maybe later, with some reports pointing around 2027), you may want to save now-especially since it could become an annual version, which means that you could end up overflowing on a semi-erect base if you want your Apple equipment to stay up to date.
