Details About the First iPhone Foldable Are Coming Into Focus

The first models will reportedly be black and white, with five cameras and less of a visible crease.

We keep collecting more details about what Apple’s first foldable iPhone will look like when it launches in 2026. The latest information is pretty intriguing.

As reported by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the foldable is code-named «V68.» It will have four cameras and be available only in black-and-white variations. The device will also rely on Touch ID (not Face ID) and will not have a SIM card slot. The four cameras will consist of one on the front, two on the back, and one on the inside.

Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The report collects the latest news about the Fold, Flip or whatever Apple calls its first foldable. We’ve already reported that the phone will cost nearly $2,000 and will be released as part of the iPhone 18 bonanza in September 2026. We have words of warning for Apple as it prepares to become the final major mobile player to jump into the foldable phone pool, with rivals Samsung and Huawei already having taken a big lead in the race.

Moving beyond the iPhone ‘rectangle’

Jon Rettinger, a tech influencer with over 1.65 million YouTube subscribers, is enthused about Apple finally adding a new-look item to its product line.

«The beauty of Android has always been a variance of form factors,» Rettinger tells CNET. «You have flips, folds, even rolls now.On the Apple side of the fence, it’s just been, ‘What size rectangle do you want?’ I, for one, am beyond excited about the prospect of Apple diving into the foldable space.»

Rettinger admires the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7, calling it «about as close to the perfect foldable as possible.» But he thinks that Apple can help disrupt the segment with its own version.

«Apple is entering a mature market with its first product.The tolerance for first-time issues, especially at an anticipated high price, will be extremely low,» he says. «However, if they ship a competitive product, I think they’ll have an absolute home run on their hands.»

Let’s bite into the details of the latest Apple iPhone foldable rumors. Bloomberg says Apple has changed course on the screen tech. The company is no longer going with on-cell touch sensors, which «can create air gaps between the screen and its cover» and thereby increase the visibility of a crease — one of the biggest pitfalls of foldable phones so far with all brands.

Instead, Apple will use an in-cell touchscreen, similar to what current iPhones use. The company believes this will enhance touch accuracy and reduce the visibility of the crease.

The report also says the iPhone foldable will utilize a C2 modem, Apple’s first cellular chip with «capabilities approaching the latest from Qualcomm.»

Like Rettinger, fellow influencer Austin Evans, who has 5.68 million YouTube subscribers, is also «really excited» about the iPhone foldable and is «curious about how Apple will differentiate,» Evans tells CNET.

«The biggest thing I’d like to see is for it to turn into an iPad mode when open,» Evans said. «Especially if they include Pencil support.»
