If many years-long rumors are true, 2026 will be the year when Apple’s long-gestating folding iPhone becomes a reality. But there are a lot of different approaches to folding phones out there, and there’s no guarantee that the folding iPhone you imagine is the one that Apple is imagining.
Leaks from Apple’s supply chain have begun to strongly suggest the shape and size of the product we’ll call, for lack of a better name, the iPhone Fold. And since it’s likely going to be nine months before anyone holds one of these things in their hands, this seems like as good a time as any to consider the story Apple is likely to tell when it’s selling this device.
I 3D printed a model that someone put together based on current rumors, and I don’t know if I love the size. Who knows if this is real, but in taking some photos for Jason’s article, I pulled some old friends out of the drawer.
Closed, this rumored size is much closer to to the original iPhone than I would have guessed:
Uhhhhh…
