In the latest installment of his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/newsletters\/2025-09-21\/mark-gurman-s-iphone-17-first-impressions-touchscreen-macbook-pro-meta-glasses?cmpid=BBD092125_POWERON&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=newsletter&amp;utm_term=250921&amp;utm_campaign=poweron\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Power On newsletter <\/a>Mark Gurman says he\u2019s being told it will look more or less like two <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/tech\/779588\/apple-iphone-air-review-battery-camera\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">iPhone Airs<\/a> stuck together.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">That means it should be pretty thin, though potentially thicker than a Pixel 10 Pro Fold (10.8mm) and Galaxy Z Fold7 (8.9mm) since an iPhone Air comes in at 5.6mm thick. Though Ming-Chi Kuo\u2019s sources suggest the foldable will be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/news\/625162\/kuo-makes-fresh-foldable-iphone-predictions\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">quite a bit thinner<\/a> when unfolded, possibly as little as 4.5mm. Unfortunately, Gurman also expects the foldable iPhone to cost more than the Pixel Fold, starting at at least $2,000, possibly more.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">One benefit of basing the foldable on the iPhone Air\u2019s design is durability. While foldables have improved a lot over the years, there are still concerns about how they can stand up to abuse. But Gurman says the iPhone fold will be made of titanium, just like the Air, which both <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/tech\/782245\/iphone-air-jerryrigeverything-durability-test\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">JerryRigsEverything<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=woya8vjeFpo\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">iFixIt<\/a> have found to be pretty tough.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">iFixIt also gave the iPhone Air a surprisingly decent repairability score of seven. If an iPhone fold could even get close to the same repairability score it would be a pretty big deal. Both the <a href=\"https:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/deeplink?id=nOD\/rLJHOac&amp;mid=53746&amp;murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ifixit.com%2FDevice%2FGoogle_Pixel_Fold\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Pixel Fold<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/9KhF6emBjbE\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Z Fold7<\/a> earned repairability scores of three, meaning these phones that are far more fragile than your standard glass rectangle are also much harder to repair.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"While it seems like a foregone conclusion that there will be a foldable iPhone, possibly late next year,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":244945,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[239,2020,50,242,158,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-244944","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-technology","8":"tag-apple","9":"tag-iphone","10":"tag-news","11":"tag-tech","12":"tag-technology","13":"tag-united-states","14":"tag-unitedstates","15":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115244783639368845","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/244944","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=244944"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/244944\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/244945"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=244944"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=244944"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=244944"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
