Final design images of the foldable iPhone dummy unit have surfaced, showing a sleek white titanium body with a 4.5mm ultra-thin frame. According to leaker Sonny Dickson, Apple may launch the device exclusively in white, with no other color options initially. The foldable features a 5.5-inch outer display and a 7.8-inch inner OLED panel with a 4:3 aspect ratio, slightly smaller than the iPad mini when opened. The front camera sits on the top left of the inner display, likely affecting the Dynamic Island.
A traditional Apple approach
Launching with a single color echoes past iconic releases like the Apple Watch Ultra and Vision Pro. The iPhone X debuted in only Silver and Space Gray. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman previously reported that Apple would avoid bold colors for its first foldable. Expected to be announced in September 2026 alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max, the foldable iPhone will start at over $2,000. Production is already ramping up, as seen in recent MacBook Neo rumors.
WWDC 2026 as the perfect backdrop
While the foldable iPhone is months away, the Worldwide Developers Conference 2026 kicks off today with a keynote unveiling iOS 27 and other software updates. The event serves as a platform for future strategies, including deeper Apple Intelligence integration. Lessons from Claude and AI risks highlighted at the previous WWDC have pushed Apple to bolster security, as evidenced by OpenAI's new Lockdown Mode.
