A revolution is brewing in Apple’s labs: according to the latest technical leaks, the brand’s first foldable iPhone could shatter all thinness records in the lineup. With a targeted thickness of just 4.8 mm when unfolded, the device would outshine the iPad Pro M4 (5.1 mm) and become the thinnest product ever made by the California tech giant.

This technical feat comes with an ambitious price tag: UBS analysts estimate it at around $1,800, though regional pricing adjustments could push it above $2,000. It’s a bold move that puts the device in direct competition with the Samsung Galaxy Fold 7 — with a clear size advantage.

Sources also reveal more key specs: a 5.5-inch external display, a 7.8-inch internal screen, dual rear cameras, and an innovative crease-resistant technology. But this obsession with extreme thinness raises critical questions about battery life and durability — echoing concerns already voiced for the iPhone 17 Air.

With a release planned for late 2026, Apple seems poised to reshape the foldable smartphone market — turning the millimeter into the new battleground. Whether this ultra-thin quest will win over users or leave them wanting more remains to be seen.
