Overview
- Multiple reports indicate both companies are developing book-style foldables with an inner 4:3 display, shifting away from today’s taller Fold designs.
- Leaked dimensions point to near-matching sizes: iPhone Fold at roughly 5.35 inches outside and 7.58 inches inside, and Samsung’s “Wide Fold” at about 5.4 inches outside and 7.6 inches inside.
- Launch timing is widely rumored for the second half of 2026, with Samsung’s model suggested for around Q3 and Apple’s for the autumn window, though none of the dates are confirmed.
- Samsung will reportedly skip a Galaxy S26 Edge and prioritize an S26+, a move linked in coverage to weak sales of ultra-thin phones such as the S25 Edge and Apple’s iPhone Air.
- New renderings and claims, attributed to leakers including Jon Prosser, describe Apple’s approach to a less visible crease, possible A20 chip and C2 modem, a side fingerprint sensor, and a potential $2,000–$2,500 price—details that remain unverified.
