Apple reportedly plans to unveil its first foldable iPhone in September this year \u2014 it may be named “iPhone Ultra”<\/a> \u2014\u00a0and expectations are high.<\/p>\n

\"Apple
In his Power On newsletter<\/a>, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman said the foldable iPhone will be “the most significant overhaul in the iPhone’s history.”<\/p>\n

“iPhone 4, iPhone 6 and iPhone X were clearly a big deal, but this is a whole new design,” he said.<\/p>\n

Like Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 7<\/a>, the foldable iPhone will reportedly open up like a book, providing users with a large inner screen for watching videos, playing games, and multitasking. iOS 27 is expected to be optimized for the foldable iPhone, allowing for apps to be open side-by-side<\/a> and for other iPad-like multitasking functionality.<\/p>\n

Late last year, a report said the foldable iPhone will be equipped with a 7.7-inch inner display, and a 5.3-inch outer display<\/a>. It was initially rumored that the device would have a virtually “crease-free” inner display<\/a>, but it was later reported<\/a> that Apple is using technology that “reduces the crease without eliminating it entirely.”<\/p>\n

Apple supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo expects<\/a> the foldable iPhone to have two rear cameras, one front camera, and a Touch ID power button instead of Face ID.<\/p>\n

In the U.S., it has been estimated that the foldable iPhone may start at or above $1,999.<\/p>\n

Apple is expected to unveil the foldable iPhone in September, alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and the iPhone 18 Pro Max. A standard iPhone 18, a lower-end iPhone 18e, and a second-generation iPhone Air will reportedly follow around March next year<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Apple reportedly plans to unveil its first foldable iPhone in September this year \u2014 it may be named…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":500566,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[257],"tags":[18,11672,19,18841,17,279,82],"class_list":["post-500565","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mobile","tag-eire","tag-expire","tag-ie","tag-iphone-fold","tag-ireland","tag-mobile","tag-technology"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/116630150566613933","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/500565","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=500565"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/500565\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/500566"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=500565"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=500565"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=500565"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
