New Delhi: Apple is expected to have a busy year in 2026, with its multiple latest products in development across the iPhone and Mac lineups. These devices that may unveil this year include Apple’s first foldable iPhone and a lower-cost MacBook. Apple is highly expected to unveil its first foldable iPhone in 2026, potentially launching in September along with the iPhone 18 Pro lineup. Some reports also suggested that the device will adopt a book-style folding design, similar to Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold series. The foldable iPhone is stated to feature a 7.8-inch inner display and a 5.5-inch cover screen, making it smaller than many existing foldables.
Apple has also reported that it is working to significantly reduce or eliminate the visible crease on the folding display. The device is expected to use a titanium frame and may rely on Touch ID instead of Face ID for biometric authentication. When folded, it could measure around 9mm to 9.5mm in thickness, slimming down to roughly 4.5mm to 4.8mm when unfolded. Camera hardware is expected to include a dual rear camera setup, along with the front-facing cameras on both the outer and inner displays.
Powering the foldable iPhone could be an A19-series chip, which is expected to debut with the iPhone 18 lineup. This chip is likely to be built on TSMC’s 2nm process, offering gains in efficiency, performance, and on-device AI processing. Apple has also stated that it is working on a new entry-level MacBook that would sit below the MacBook Air in the lineup. According to some earlier reports, this model may be powered by an A-series chip typically used in iPhones, with the A18 Pro chip being a likely candidate.
The report also added that the MacBook could use a lower-end LCD display compared to the MacBook Air. The screen size is expected to be smaller than any of the current Macs; some sources have pointed to a 12.9-inch panel, compared to the 13.6-inch display used on the MacBook Air. The entry-level MacBook could be offered in multiple colour options, which include: Silver, Blue, Pink, and Yellow. But let’s wait for another update by the company or any other sources.
