There is less left to see the first foldable iPhonea rumor that has been among us for months, and that little by little is becoming true, and that is, in order to launch it in 2026they have already begun to manufacture and order the first parts and prototypes, so everything is known.
It is true that, since it is a rumor, everything can vary, since Apple could test it, and not be convinced of its size, or another characteristic, being in time to change it, but everything indicates that the information is quite reliable, and these will be the dimensions that we will have in the new model.
Dimensions of the foldable iPhone of 2026
Little by little more details are emerging about what would be the first foldable iPhone from Apple. It is not official yet, but several leaks already talk about what their screens could be like and what idea Apple would have in mind with this model.
According to the information that has been leaked, according to The Information, this iPhone would open like a book, in the style of other folding phones that already exist. When it is fully open, it would have a large screen about 7.7 inches. The idea would be to use it to watch videos, read, browse or even use various applications more comfortably, almost as if it were a small tablet.
When the phone is closed, the outdoor screen It would be much smaller, around 5.3 inches. This would serve for quick day-to-day use: answer messages, look at notifications, make calls or use apps without having to open the phone all the time. The size would be in line with a normal iPhone, neither too big nor too small, although currently they are getting bigger, so they could end up falling short once closed.
This is not the first time these sizes have been talked about. Previous rumors mentioned very similar figures, suggesting that Apple has been testing and fine-tuning the format for some time before truly launching. It seems that they are still fine-tuning details and comparing options, but, whatever the case, it will be around 7.7 inches.
It is also commented that Apple would be putting a lot of care into the quality of the screenespecially in the fold. The intention would be that it is not as noticeable as in other folding phones and that the device feels more solid and durable. Furthermore, this hinge can be key to the final price, and they would look for something economical, as well as quality, so as not to greatly increase costs, and, therefore, its output value.
In short, the foldable iPhone aims to be a mobile phone that combines the best of two worlds: compact when closed and much larger when opened. There is still time to know if all this comes true, but the general idea is already beginning to take shape. It may not be the ideal phone for many, since, if you are not a fan of watching movies or working with it, you will not need such a large screen, and, once closed, it can become small, therefore opting for something average, like the current ones, but for others, it will be their ideal phone, so we will see how it all ends.
