The company wants to use better materials that make the device stronger and hide the fold line that appears on the screen. Industry sources shared new details about the phone's size, screen quality and construction materials. Samsung will likely provide the folding screens for Apple's new device. The tech giant expects to launch the foldable phone during late 2026. The phone will have two screens that work together when users open the device. The outside screen measures 5.49 inches for basic tasks when the phone stays closed. The inside screen expands to 7.58 inches when people unfold the device completely. The larger screen shows 2,713 by 1,920 pixels with sharp image quality. Apple changed the screen shape to work better with new software features. The company will build the phone with titanium metal that costs more but lasts longer than regular materials. Apple developed a special glass mixture that resists damage from daily use. Engineers created a liquid metal hinge that bends smoothly without breaking over time. The advanced hinge design helps eliminate visible creases that appear on other folding phones. These premium materials will make the device expensive. Apple expects to charge between $2,000 and $2,500 for the foldable iPhone when it reaches stores. The high price reflects the costly materials and complex engineering required for folding technology. The company revealed software changes that will help apps work properly on different screen sizes. Developers can create programs that adjust automatically to various phone shapes. These early details may change before the final product launches. [/QUOTE]
