Apple has marked a date on the calendar. On September 9 next year, the Cupertino-based company will hold its traditional fall launch event. There are indications that this will be the ideal place for them to launch their first foldable screen phone. After years of rumors and leaks, a foldable iPhone seems closer to reality than ever, and expectations are sky high.
In this article, we’ll review everything we know about the device so far, from its possible name and estimated price to its design, specs, and release date. However, something to remember is… None of the above has been officially confirmed. So we’ll have to wait until the event takes place to confirm the details.
Official press conference: September 9
Apple has confirmed the date of its next launch event, which will take place in Spain on Wednesday, September 19 at 0:00 p.m. The catchphrase on the invitation, “Sparkle with Surprise,” sparked various speculations, but most analysts agreed that the foldable iPhone would be the biggest selling point. In addition, this will be John Turners’ first keynote speech as CEO since Tim Cook left.
In addition to foldable phones, Apple is also expected to release new iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max, as well as a new Apple Watch. However, the focus will undoubtedly be on the device that could be a turning point in Apple’s history.
Design and Screen: Book Format and Invisible Folding
The first foldable iPhone will have a book-like design similar to Samsung Galaxy Z Fold. According to leaked information, the external screen size is 5.5 inches and the internal screen size is 7.8 inches. The screen ratio is close to 4:3. This will make it a compact device that can turn into a small tablet when opened.
One of Apple’s most persistent goals has been to eliminate screen creases. The company has reportedly developed liquid metal hinges and ultra-thin glass that make creases almost completely invisible. In fact, those who have secretly tested the device claim… that the wrinkles are undetectable to the naked eye. .
Tech Specs: Processor, Memory, and Camera
The foldable iPhone will be powered by an A20 Pro processor, which is expected to be the same as the iPhone 18 Pro. This chip, manufactured using a 2-nanometer process, has 10-15% higher performance than the A19 and a 30% higher energy efficiency. Additionally, the RAM will be 12 GB which will allow running artificial intelligence tasks locally.
This battery will be one of the largest ever in an iPhone, with a capacity of approximately 5.500 mAh. This is thanks to… The dual-battery design maximizes the use of internal space. As for the cameras, the device will feature dual 48-megapixel rear cameras, but… the decision to not include a telephoto lens surprised many.
Spain prices and availability
The price of the foldable iPhone is one of the most anticipated aspects. According to analysts, the device will cost more than $2,000 in the United States. The selling price may be as high as $2.500. In Spain, including VAT and Apple’s customary price adjustments, expect the base model to cost around 2,500 euros.
Regarding the launch time, the foldable iPhone is expected to be released on September 9, but the launch time may be delayed to December. Apple has reportedly ordered between 7 million and 10 million units, but that number may be insufficient given the expected high demand. Additionally, the phone may initially only be available in select markets such as the United States and China.
All in all, the foldable iPhone is expected to be one of Apple’s most important products in recent years. Its innovative design, high-end configuration and high price make it a niche product, but its arrival will undoubtedly promote the development of the folding screen mobile phone market. We’ll have to wait until September 9th to find out all the official details.
