Apple’s Foldable iPhone: What to Expect in the UK

The foldable iPhone is one of the most anticipated devices in the UK, with rumours swirling about its release date, price, and specs. As the only major manufacturer without a foldable device, Apple is under pressure to deliver. The expected September 2026 release date is likely to coincide with the iPhone 18 lineup, but a dedicated launch event is still possible.

The design of the foldable iPhone is expected to be a book-style foldable, with a creaseless 7.58-inch inner display and a 5.25-inch outer display. The frame will be made of a mix of titanium and aluminium, with a robust hinge composed of LiquidMetal. The device will feature a single, punch-hole front camera and a horizontal camera module with dual rear cameras.

The specs of the foldable iPhone are expected to include a 7.58-inch inner display, a 5.25-inch outer display, two 48Mp cameras, and a fingerprint ID via a side button. The device will be 9-9.5mm thick closed and 4.5-4.8mm thick open, with a battery that can fit the largest battery yet seen in an iPhone.

The price of the foldable iPhone is expected to be around $2,399, although this is still speculative. The international pricing is not yet known, but it’s likely to be similar to the US price. The device will be available in two colour options, with white being the only confirmed colour so far.

The foldable iPhone will run on a form of iOS, with software inspired by iPadOS 26. This will allow it to be used as a productivity device, supporting side-by-side apps and layouts including sidebars. However, it won’t support windowed multitasking or apps developed for the iPad.

As the release date approaches, more information is expected to come to light. In the meantime, Apple fans in the UK can stay up-to-date with the latest news and rumours. With its unique design and impressive specs, the foldable iPhone is set to be one of the most exciting devices of 2026.
