Apple's first-ever foldable iPhone may finally arrive next year, if many leaks and analysts are to be believed.

And now, the Apple whisperer, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, claims that the newest folding device will have a few key upgrades over rivals.

Another high-end iPhone

According to Gurman, the foldable iPhone will be pitched as a "new high-end model, rather than a niche alternative design." This aligns with reports from analyst Ming-Chi Kuo that it could release next year or in 2027 with a price between $2,000 and $2,500.

Kuo also shared that the folding iPhone should feature a 7.8-inch inner display with a 5.5-inch cover screen, two cameras, a front camera, and a Touch ID power button instead of Face ID. He claimed the handset will be 4.5mm when unfolded and between 9mm and 9.5mm when folded. Very similar to specs to what the Z Fold 7 should feature this year.

Gurman did add a caveat that sources he spoke with said that development could fall behind, which suggests that we might not see the phone until 2027.
