Apple's New Bendable iPhone Plan iPhone First
Based on reports from insiders, Apple has changed its way into the bendable tech game. They have put off making a bendable iPad, and are now using their time and effort to make their first bendable iPhone come out sooner.
Why the Bendable iPad Work is Paused
The choice to stop the work on the bendable iPad is believed to be due to big issues in making it and worries about the cost. Making big, bendy OLED screens (said to be from 18.8 to 20.2 inches) that don't show folds, while still reaching Apple's top standards, is still a big technical problem.
Also, the high cost of making them would likely lead to a very high price for the buyers. Apple thinks this high price might lower the want for the item.
Work on Bendable iPhone Moves Ahead
On the other hand, the work on the bendable iPhone is moving on well. The item is now in the model stage, with full tests set to start in early 2026. Key details from the reports note:
- Screen: A bendy 7.8-inch OLED display made by Samsung.
- Safety: A Touch ID scanner set into the side of the item.
- Build: A frame made of titanium alloy, with a strong folding hinge.
When to Expect It and for How Much
Apple plans to show their first bendable iPhone in September 2026. The thought price for the item ranges from $2100 to $2300.
