I've been waiting for Apple to make a foldable iPhone ever since the first-generation Samsung Galaxy Z Fold, and it's finally happening. Nearly a decade after Samsung made its first foldable, Apple will launch a similar book-style foldable iPhone. That's next year, according to most reports, and we're getting more and more leaks that suggest the device's launch is certain.
Recent leaks detailing the foldable iPhone have mentioned exciting specs. The foldable iPhone should be very thin and feature a novel hinge mechanism preventing the display from creasing. According to reports, the disappearance of the crease is a top priority at Apple.
The foldable iPhone should also have a different aspect ratio than the Galaxy Z Fold models. The screen sizes that appeared in these reports indicate the foldable would not be as tall as other rivals, resembling an iPad mini when unfolded.
Finally, reports say the first-gen foldable iPhone might cost between $2,000 and $2,500. That's more than twice the price I'd pay for an iPhone Pro. It's also more expensive than the usual Fold-type foldable, which retails for under $2,000 before trade-ins and deals.
However, the price wouldn't be the main dealbreaker for me. A recent report from Ming-Chi Kuo said the iPhone Fold might replace Face ID with Touch ID. I will have used Face ID for nearly ten years by the time the iPhone Fold launches. It's one of my favorite iPhone features, and I can't imagine an iPhone experience that lacks Face ID.
