Apple according to reliable sources, it plans to introduce its first foldable next year iPhoneThe information was provided by renowned analysts and journalists who have been following the events surrounding this technology brand for a long time. It is already clear that Apple doesn't just want to follow the trend, but intends to offer a foldable phone that will significantly differentiate itself from the competition. In addition to the foldable iPhone, our summary will talk about the iPhone 18 and the future Face ID.
What advantages will the folding offer? iPhone compared to the competition?
One of the most common shortcomings of current foldable phones is the visible crease in the middle of the display, which spoils the overall impression of the device and interferes with viewing content. Apple according to Mark Gurman from the agency Bloomberg plans to eliminate this weakness – a new foldable iPhone should have an "almost invisible" bend, which will bring a much smoother and more aesthetic experience when using it. In practice, this means that when you open the phone, the display will appear almost as one unit, without any distracting transitions.
Another often criticized element of folding devices is the unreliable and not very durable hinge. Apple However, Apple is betting on higher quality in this regard as well. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo revealed that the hinge of the foldable iPhone will be made of a combination of titanium and stainless steel, which should ensure not only high strength but also a long lifespan. This could solve users' concerns about mechanical wear or breakage of the hinge after several thousand openings.
According to available information, the device will have a 7,8″ internal display and a 5,5″ external display. When unfolded, the phone will be just 4,5 mm thick, making it one of the thinnest in its category. When folded, the thickness will increase to 9–9,5 mm, which is still very competitive. Apple thus trying to combine practicality with elegance and minithe minimalist look that its users are used to.
Instead of facial recognition, it will be foldable iPhone According to leaks, the fingerprint reader will be integrated into the power button. This change could be a welcome alternative for users who prefer a physical form of security and could contribute to greater reliability in various lighting conditions.
While some foldable phones suffer from poor battery life, Apple is also focusing on this aspect. The device will be equipped with a battery with high energy density, which should ensure longer battery life while maintaining compact dimensions.

Future Face ID
Apple according to reliable sources, is intensively testing a new way of authenticating users using Face ID – but this time hidden directly under the display. This innovation is set to arrive with the models iPhone 18 Pro a iPhone 18 Pro Max, which are expected in 2026. If everything goes according to plan, it will be one of the most significant technological improvements to the iPhone in recent years.
Unlike the current solution, where sensors are needed Face ID placed in the so-called Dynamic Island (i.e. the notch at the top of the display), the new system will completely disappear from sight. Only a small hole in the upper left corner for the front camera will remain visible – the so-called hole-punch solution. This approach would allow the iPhone tooneThis made it possible to offer a completely smooth and intact display, without any cutout or hole that would disrupt the visual impression.
Development of sub-display Face ID is not simple. Facial verification using this technology is much more complex than just taking a photo - the system projects and analyzes thousands of infrared dots that create a 3D map of the user's face. OLED displays that Apple However, they naturally block or scatter infrared light. This poses a major problem for accuracy and reliability. Face ID.
Aby Apple has overcome this challenge, reportedly testing special translucent layers in certain parts of the display that will allow IR light to pass through without significant signal loss or distortion. This requires complex modifications on both the hardware (sensors, lenses, displays) and software (algorithms for image processing and optical interference compensation).
Apple Moreover, according to analysts, he will not be willing to bring the technology to market until it reaches the same or higher levels of accuracy, safety and reliability as the current one. Face ID system.
At the same time Apple It also uses a new solution for the front camera. For the iPhone 18 Pro The HIAA (Hole-In-Active-Area) system will be used – a manufacturing method developed by Samsung and other OLED panel manufacturers. It involves precise laser drilling of a hole directly into the active area of the display without significantly affecting the display or power consumption.
Current models have the so-called Dynamic Islandem
iPhone 18 performances
Apple is preparing for a major change in its long-term strategy for launching new iPhones. According to renowned analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the company will introduce a standard iPhone 18 until spring 2027 – which marks a departure from the traditional autumn cycle that has been in place since the model iPhone 4S (2011). This move indicates a larger strategic realignment of the entire product line and a deliberate division of the introduction of new models into two phases during the year.
According to Kuo, the following divisions are planned in the coming years:
- 2nd half of 2025:
iPhone 17 Pro Max, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Slim (Air), iPhone 17 - 1nd half of 2026:
iPhone 17e - 2nd half of 2026:
iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, iPhone 18 Slim (Air) and a new folding iPhone - 1nd half of 2027:
Standard iPhone 18 to iPhone 18e - 2nd half of 2027:
iPhone Foldable 2, iPhone 19 Pro, Pro Max and Slim (with a larger display than the iPhone 18 Slim)
According to Kuo, there are two main reasons for this shift - manufacturers like Xiaomi, Oppo, and Vivo often launch their flagships in the first half of the year. Apple This step is responding to a marketing gap that it has not yet exploited. In addition, the model line of Apple phones has gradually grown to six models (including a foldable phone). The gradual introduction during the year will allow for more efficient marketing and production, and will prevent individual models from unnecessarily taking attention from each other.
