Bloombergs well-connected Apple specialist Mark Gurman has backed up recent rumors that a foldable iPhone will launch in 2026.

This makes a lot of sense.

Gurman expects Apple to reuse many technologies it has on the way with its ultrathin upcoming iPhone 17 Air.

Indeed, one analyst believesit could cost as much as $2,300.

Gurmans estimate is, at this stage, a little lower: around $2,000.

Interestingly, this might not be the only foldable gear Apple has in mind for the next few years.
