introduce the iPhone Fold later this year. The company’s inaugural foldable gadget is believed to possess a 7.8-inch inner screen and adopt a comparable strategy to the Galaxy Fold with a suggested price of around $2,000. As the launch date nears, a report from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman discloses additional information regarding the software for this device. Per the publication, Apple will implement a tailored version of iOS, which will incorporate some features from iPadOS, although it will not serve as a substitute for a genuine iPad, as it will be devoid of effective multitasking features and iPad apps.
Gurman states that Apple will design this device to be enticing for video viewing, and developers will need to adjust to Apple’s sidebar for these new iOS applications, akin to what users currently experience with the iPad and the Mac. Although WWDC 2026 is imminent, it is improbable that we will receive information regarding this modification to the iPhone software, despite the possibility of Apple providing clues prior to the official launch to allow developers time to modify their applications for this novel experience.
