Apple’s First Foldable iPhone Expected in 2026 – Leaks Reveal Battery, Features & Price

With a massive 5500mAh battery and a price tag of $2,090, Apple’s foldable iPhone could be its most powerful and expensive yet.

Cupertino: Apple is expected to launch its first foldable iPhone in the second half of 2026, according to new leaks that have sparked excitement among Apple fans. The leak reveals key features, battery specifications, and pricing details for what could be Apple’s most innovative device yet.

Reportedly, the foldable iPhone will feature the largest battery ever in an Apple smartphone—between 5000mAh and 5500mAh. For comparison, the current largest battery is in the iPhone 16 Pro Max, which offers 4685mAh. The foldable model is set to surpass that, potentially offering longer battery life to match its premium status.

As for pricing, the leak suggests that the phone will start at 15,000 Yuan in China, which is approximately $2,090 USD. Global prices may be even higher, making it the most expensive iPhone Apple has ever released.

Well-known analyst Ming-Chi Kuo believes the foldable iPhone may debut alongside the iPhone 18 series in September 2026. Rumors point toward a book-style folding design, with a flexible OLED display ranging from 7.9 to 8.3 inches. The screen is said to be durable enough to withstand thousands of folds without degrading.

The foldable iPhone is also expected to include an under-display camera, a new high-performance processor, and a premium camera system, enhancing both aesthetics and functionality.

Notably, Apple is known for its cautious approach to adopting new technologies—waiting until they are fully mature before bringing them to market. This strategy ensures a more refined and reliable user experience, which may also explain the later launch timeline compared to competitors.
