iPhone Fold 5G mobile: Expected launch, price in India, design, specs and more
Apple is reportedly preparing to enter the foldable smartphone market, with its first iPhone Fold expected to launch in September 2026. The device is likely to be part of the iPhone 18 lineup, according to new predictions by investment firm JPMorgan. As rival brands like Samsung continue to expand their foldable portfolios, Apple appears set to join the competition with a premium, crease-free design and powerful internals. Internally, the iPhone Fold could be powered by Apple's future-generation A20-series chip.(David Paul Morris/Bloomberg) Launch timeline and design expectations The iPhone Fold is tipped to arrive in the second half of 2026, coinciding with Apple's usual September product cycle. JPMorgan analyst Samik Chatterjee notes that Apple's foldable will likely feature a book-style folding mechanism, similar to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold series. However, leaks suggest that Apple may debut a crease-free inner display, setting it apart in terms of build quality and visual appeal. The foldable iPhone is rumoured to include a 7.8-inch inner display when unfolded and a 5.5-inch outer screen for quick access and notifications. The design is expected to maintain Apple's clean aesthetic, possibly incorporating a titanium frame and support for the Apple Pencil. Expected specifications Internally, the iPhone Fold could be powered by Apple's future-generation A20-series chip, built on a highly efficient 3nm architecture. It may also include 5G support, Wi-Fi 7, and up to 1TB of storage, making it a top-tier productivity and media device. Camera details remain unconfirmed, but Apple is expected to equip the phone with a high-end rear camera array, likely featuring computational photography enhancements and 8K video recording capabilities. The battery could support fast wired and MagSafe wireless charging, but the exact capacity is still unknown. Price in India and global estimates While no official pricing has been released, JPMorgan estimates the iPhone Fold could start at around $1,999 in the United States. In India, this could translate to a starting price near ₹1,74,900, factoring in taxes and import duties. The device is expected to target early adopters and premium customers, similar to how the iPhone Pro Max models are positioned. What to expect next Apple has not officially confirmed the device, but ongoing patents, supply chain activity, and analyst forecasts all point to an ambitious new product category. With a strong focus on design, user experience, and durability, the iPhone Fold could mark the most significant change to the iPhone lineup in over a decade.

Google Pixel 9 Pro XL Price Drop Summer Sale Google Store
Google Pixel 9 Pro XL, right, and Pixel 9 Pro are on sale once again, with the former getting its ... More biggest discount yet. Photographer: David Paul Morris/Bloomberg Google wants to steal some of Samsung's limelight ahead of its Unpacked event tomorrow, where we will likely see the Galaxy Z Fold 7 launched, with its own major discount for the Pixel 9 and Pixel 8 series. The Google U.S. store has launched its summer sale, as it calls it. But, truthfully, most of these discounts can—and are—found throughout the year. There are two clear differences with this promotion, however. Firstly, all of the company's phones are on sale. Secondly, the Pixel 9 Pro XL has received the biggest discount I've seen yet. The headline deal here is the $350 discount Google has knocked off the Pixel 9 Pro XL. That specific number is typically reserved for the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. I cover (almost) all of these deals and I don't recall Google discounting its non-foldable flagship by that much. If you have your eye on the Pixel 9 Pro XL, this is the time to buy it. The Google Pixel 8 Pro Is Still The Better Deal The Google Pixel 8 Pro . (Photo by Ed JONES / AFP) (Photo by ED JONES/AFP via Getty Images) Despite the size of the Pixel 9 Pro XL price drop, I still think the Pixel 8 Pro is the better deal for people on a serious budget. Google and Samsung changed how these older smartphones are viewed with the announcement that 2024 devices—and beyond—will receive seven years of software updates, security patches, and replacement parts. The Pixel 8 Pro, too, isn't wildly different from the Pixel 9. AI tools like Magic Editor, Best Take, and Video Boost have made it over to last year's Google phone. Formerly exclusive Pixel 9 features, such as the Pixel Weather app, have now migrated over to the Pixel 8. Only the updated hardware separates the two phones. Check out my longer read here on why the Pixel 8 might be the better deal. If you're dead set on the Pixel 9 Pro XL then it might be best to wait until the Pixel 10 launches, which could be next month. The size of this deal suggests that Google may continue its policy of deep discounts for the previous generation's flagship phone. There will be an instant price drop the moment the Pixel 10 hits the Google Store and then further sales as the year progresses.
