The tipster is backing up what Bloomberg's Mark Gurman and analyst Ming-Chi Kuo already said about the foldable going eSIM-only. Kuo mentioned earlier that the ultra-thin build doesn't leave room for a SIM tray, and Instant Digital seems to agree with that take. The company already ran into problems in China when it launched the eSIM-only iPhone Air, since the country was pretty against eSIMs until Apple pushed through some regulatory changes. The foldable is rumored to have a creaseless screen, book-style design with a 7.74-inch main display, Touch ID instead of Face ID, and a massive battery between 5,400 and 5,800mAh. It'll probably cost around $2,399 and ship sometime in the second half of 2026. [/QUOTE]
