Event Summary

Developers analyzing the iOS 27 beta have discovered explicit code references such as 'foldState', 'angleDegrees', and checks for multiple built-in displays, strongly suggesting Apple Inc. is preparing for a foldable iPhone. These findings, initially spotted by Sam Henri Gold and corroborated by 9to5Mac, indicate that Apple Inc. is laying the software groundwork for a device with a folding display and adjustable hinge. While Apple Inc. did not announce a foldable iPhone at Worldwide Developers Conference 2026, reports from Bloomberg News, citing Mark Gurman, suggest a book-style foldable iPhone could launch in September 2026, priced around $2,000. This move would position Apple Inc. as a direct competitor to Samsung Electronics, Alphabet Inc., and Huawei in the foldable market, with iOS 27 providing the necessary software optimizations for dynamic app resizing and multitasking across different screen sizes.
