Apple’s first foldable smartphone, currently known by the working name iPhone Fold, will combine the compactness of a smartphone with the functionality of a tablet. The device will run on the latest A20 Pro chip and will feature 12 GB of RAM supplied by Samsung.

The key feature of the new device will be hardware optimized for artificial intelligence tasks. The increased memory capacity will ensure smooth interface performance on a larger display and allow users to run professional software previously available only on iPad and Mac devices. This will enable users to switch instantly between complex tasks without losing performance.

The gadget’s design resembles a book: when closed, it looks like a regular smartphone, and when unfolded, it transforms into a workspace with a diagonal of about 8 inches. Thanks to innovative hinge materials and a new type of flexible glass, engineers have managed to make the device’s body extremely thin while maintaining high durability.

The official announcement of the long-awaited device is expected in September 2026. Its market release could become one of the most significant events in the technology industry in recent years, offering a new level of comfort for work and content consumption.
