New Report Reveals when Apple Could Potentially Release Its Foldable iPhone and iPad — What We Know so Far
Apple aims to ship 8 to 10 million foldable iPhones in 2026, using side-button Touch ID to optimize space and cost, while planning a foldable iPad for 2028 with lower shipments.
- In 2026, Apple Inc. plans to introduce a foldable iPhone with mass production in the second half of 2026, while the foldable iPad is expected in 2028.
- Because UTG is fragile and costly, Apple delayed foldables until Samsung perfected near‑invisible crease panels earlier this year; both devices will use ultra‑thin glass from Corning finished by General Interface Solution .
- Kuo details that the iPhone Fold will likely adopt side-button Touch ID due to its 4.5mm unfolded thickness, featuring a 7.8-inch internal and 5.5-inch external screen.
- Analysts now project 8‑10 million iPhone Folds in 2026 and 20‑25 million in 2027, but the $2,000 to $2,500 price range and ultra‑thin glass cost pressures may limit adoption.
- Looking toward 2028, the foldable iPad is projected to ship between 500,000 and 1 million units, while the Vision Air headset expected in 2027 targets one million units alongside Apple's AI initiatives.
