Apple's foldable iPhone speculation: What you need to know
Image: Getty Images Read- Rather than taking a radically new approach, Apple is expected to refine existing foldable technology. This includes minimising the screen crease on the main display and introducing a more durable hinge mechanism. The next version of Apple's mobile operating system, likely called iOS 27, is also expected to feature optimisations for foldable displays. Apple iPhone Fold: What to expect Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo previously stated that the foldable iPhone could sport a sleek design, measuring between 9mm to 9.5mm when folded, and just 4.5mm to 4.8mm when unfolded. The device is expected to include a 5.5-inch external screen and a 7.8-inch internal display with minimal crease visibility. These details were echoed by analyst Jeff Pu, who also noted that the outer screen may have a resolution of 2088 x 1422 pixels, while the inner display could be 2713 x 1920 pixels. Finalising specifications and supply chain readiness Apple is on the cusp of launching its first foldable iPhone, with the supply chain reportedly close to finalising specifications for a book-style 'iPhone Fold' targeting a release in the second half of 2026. This move marks Apple's entry into a segment that, while still niche, is poised for transformation as the world's most influential smartphone brand steps in. UBS surveyed the landscape in an analyst note titled Unfolding the implications of an iPhone Fold launch. The firm's teardown analysis of Samsung's Z Fold SE (BOM cost: $790) suggests Apple's iPhone Fold could achieve a bill-of-materials cost of $759, about 4 per cent lower, thanks to cost savings on memory, application processors, and camera modules, even as premium materials drive up casing and hinge costs, Pricing strategy and production forecast Initial production is expected to be limited, with estimates ranging from 10 million to 15 million units in the first wave. This cautious rollout reflects both the technical complexity of foldable devices and the high price point, which analysts view as a barrier to mass adoption. Early reports suggest the iPhone Fold could be priced between $2,000 and $2,400, making it Apple's most expensive phone to date and positioning it as a premium, aspirational product. However, UBS says Apple's cost discipline may allow it to price the device at the lower end of the anticipated range ($1,800–$2,000), with contribution margins of 53 per cent–58 per cent, in line with Samsung's foldables and well above the iPhone 16 series. Supply chain ripple effects The iPhone Fold's launch is also expected to have a positive ripple effect across Apple's supply chain, including companies like Amphenol, Hirose, TDK, Avary, and SDI. Many of these firms are currently trading below historical valuation averages, and the visibility of a new product ramp could boost sentiment and share prices. The iPhone Fold's unique design is set to benefit several key players: Display Panels: Samsung Display is expected to be the primary supplier, with capacity to produce up to 15 million 7-inch foldable OLED panels annually. LG Display may also play a role as Apple diversifies its sourcing. Casing and Hinges: The device will likely feature a titanium casing and a liquid metal hinge, with suppliers such as Lens Technology, Amphenol, and Hon Hai (Foxconn) positioned to benefit from a higher BOM wallet share. EMS Providers: Hon Hai is expected to handle initial assembly, with Luxshare as a secondary partner, reflecting Apple's strategy of leveraging its established manufacturing ecosystem. Late entry in a nascent market Apple is late to the foldable game, as rumors have intensified that the company will launch its first folding iPhone, possibly called the iPhone Flip, in 2026. But that might be just fine. The market is still young, with foldable phones accounting for well under 5 per cent of all smartphones sold globally. A crease-free iPhone would mark the latest innovation in foldable technology — a category that began with Huawei's $2,600 Mate X in 2019, followed by its triple-screen concept, and continued with Samsung's ongoing Flip and Fold releases. Samsung's latest models were unveiled just last week, and a tri-fold phone is also rumored to be in the works for later this year, Setting the bar for foldables If successful, the iPhone Fold could not only reinvigorate the premium smartphone segment but also set a new standard for foldables. Apple's typical focus on polished user experience, software-hardware synergy, and ecosystem integration could help address the shortcomings that have kept foldables from broader mainstream appeal. While the foldable market remains niche, Apple's entry is expected to expand consumer awareness and push the segment forward. As 2026 approaches, the tech world will be watching closely to see if Apple can do for foldables what it once did for smartphones.

Ethereum is scaling: TPS, gas limit up as validators back 45M target
Ethereum's throughput ticked up on Sunday as more validators signalled their support for increasing Ethereum's gas limit to 45 million units, which will reduce transaction fees and enable improved network scaling. Ethereum's gas limit rose to over 37.3 million units on Sunday, according to Etherscan, up almost 3% from levels late last week, while several blocks were proposed with higher gas limits. The latest gas limit increase represents the first significant climb since February, when it was raised from 30 million to 36 million. Improved transaction throughput Higher gas limits mean more transaction throughput on Ethereum's layer-1 network, and validators can automatically adjust the limit by about 0.1% per block when they signal support for changes. Ethereum throughput ticked up to just below 18 transactions per second over the weekend, according to Chainspect. It has also risen since the last gas limit increase when TPS was around 15. Validators agree to 'pump the gas' The weekend gas limit increase came as nearly half of all staked Ether is now signaling support to raise the gas limit to 45 million or higher through a grassroots 'pump the gas' campaign. 'Almost exactly 50% of stake are voting to increase the L1 gas limit to 45 million,' observed Vitalik Buterin on Sunday. Currently, 47.2% of staked validators are in favor of higher gas limits, according to Pump the gas The gas limit refers to the maximum amount of gas spent on executing transactions or smart contracts in each block. Gas is the Ether fee required to conduct a transaction or execute a smart contract on the network. Ethereum developers launched the 'pump the gas' campaign in March 2024 to initially raise the Ethereum gas limit from 30 million to 40 million, which they claimed would reduce transaction fees on layer 1. Buterin noted that recent Geth, the most popular Ethereum node client, team improvements make these scale increases safer with new archive node optimizations. Ether activity and price continue higher Ethereum network activity has also increased in recent months, with an uptick in daily transactions from around 1.1 million in April to current levels around 1.4 million, according to Etherscan. The uptick in network activity has correlated with an increase in price, with the asset gaining a whopping 54% over the past month. Ether topped $3,800 briefly in a seven-month high on Sunday as corporate treasuries and exchange-traded funds continue to load up. Source:
