At first glance, what do you think when you see this folding screen iPhone concept machine? Is it as shocked as the editor, and the first reaction is "Is this true?" When will it be released? "In fact, this is just an Apple folding screen concept machine, which was built according to the information exposed by foreign media.
In fact, a few days ago, the editor analyzed how likely it is for the iPhone folding screen mobile phone. To recap, Apple has reached a secret agreement with Samsung, and Samsung will provide Apple with folding screens for Apple's latest products. However, the agreement does not specify whether it will be used for iPhones or MacBooks, and although there is speculation that it is likely to be released in 2026, the editor does not dare to jump to conclusions.
Just recently, foreign media exposed Apple's product upgrade route in the next three or four years, which mentioned that a folding screen iPhone will be released in 2026, of which the outer screen size is 6 inches, the inner screen size is 8 inches, using low-power LLW DRAM, and there is also an under-screen Face ID (3D face recognition unlock). This news is too explosive, combined with the rumors a few days ago, it is likely that the folding screen iPhone will really be released in 2026.
In addition, the folding screen iPhone concept machine was also exposed for the first time, which is the picture we see now. It can be seen that it is not called iPhone18Pro folding screen mobile phone, but "iPhone Fold". You must know that Apple is very particular about product naming, so this time it will be called the folding screen iPhone concept machine for the time being.
The design of this Apple folding screen concept machine is very exquisite, continuing the design elements of Apple products, showing the craftsmanship aesthetics of excellence, and reflecting the atmospheric and simple design style of Apple products. Xiaobian admits that I like this folding screen iPhone concept machine very much, and I can't wait to experience it right away. Even if it waits until 2026, it feels like it's worth it. If it's really released, the editor will line up to grab one to play! I believe that many fruit fans have the same idea as Xiaobian!
It is said that Apple's mobile phone upgrade iteration is too slow, and this folding screen iPhone breaks everyone's inherent impression of Apple. As you can see from the concept art, a screen punch hole design is adopted. The outer screen is 6 inches, which is a little smaller than a regular Apple phone. You must know that the iPhone 15 is also currently 6.1 inches, and the iPhone 16 Pro Max is likely to be upgraded to 6.9 inches.
Don't look at the folding screeniPhoneThe outer screen is small, but the fuselage is very slender, the hinge part presents a right-angle design, and the outer bezel is rounded + right-angle design fusion. The design effect of the inner square and outer circle is very attractive, which is worthy of the Apple concept machine.
And when the folding screen iPhone is turned on, the screen is about 8 inches in size, which can be seen from the concept art, just like the iPad. In fact, the outer screen and the inner screen can display different operation screens, and can also display integrated functions at the same time. It is worth noting that the punch hole of the inner screen of the folding screen iPhone is designed in the upper right corner of the screen, which also looks very small.
Combined with previous rumors, iPhone18Pro will achieve under-screen 3D face recognition, so it is not surprising that the folding screen iPhone uses a punch-hole screen. Among them, the hinge will be closely combined with the folding screen iPhone, and it is rumored that Apple has been testing the durability of the hinge, so as not to let the screen show the folding traces of the hinge as much as possible, and has also applied for a patent.
Don't look at this is just a folding screen iPhone concept machine, just for your reference. However, if it is really released in 2026 in 2 years, it is likely to be released at the same time as the iPhone 18 series. However, it is expected that the price will not be too cheap, and the forecast will be at least 12,000. Everyone is welcome to leave your thoughts in the comment area!
