In his latest “Power On Newsletter, Bloomberg‘s Mark Gurman, said the upcoming foldable iPhone will have improved screen quality and overall durability compared to competing foldables.
“Apple engineers believe they’ve solved problems with screen quality and overall durability, two long-running flaws with phones in this category,” he said.
Gurman said the crease in the foldable iPhone’s screen will be “less visible when it’s unfolded” compared to some other foldables. The device — which may be called the “iPhone Fold” or perhaps the “iPhone Ultra” — is expected to arrive in the September-October time period with a price starting at well above US$2,000.
There’s some debate on whether it will arrive along with the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max or if it will arrive shortly thereafter. The standard iPhone 18 isn’t expected to arrive until spring 2027. You can find a round-up of rumors about the foldable iPhone here.
