Apple’s July 2025 Bombshells: Foldable iPhone, AI Secrets, Encryption Showdown & More

Apple is finally gearing up to enter the foldable phone race – but in a way that even insiders call “un-Apple-like.” According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the first foldable iPhone is expected in late 2026 alongside iOS 27, and Apple’s approach will prioritize refining existing foldable tech rather than debuting wild new designs macrumors.com thetechoutlook.com. Gurman reports iOS 27 will “prioritize” special software features for a book-style folding iPhone macrumors.com. Leaks suggest a roughly 7.8-inch inner display and 5.5-inch outer screen with a less visible crease and a sturdier titanium-steel hinge – all supplied by Samsung Display macrumors.com thetechoutlook.com. In other words, Apple plans to fix common foldable pain points rather than reinvent the wheel. Notably, this foldable iPhone Fold could command ~$2,000 – Apple’s priciest phone ever – and ditch Face ID for Touch ID on a side button to save space macrumors.com. It’s an unusually pragmatic strategy for Apple, leading Gurman to dub it the company’s “least Apple-like launch ever” thetechoutlook.com thetechoutlook.com. Still, pent-up demand is high among Apple loyalists who’ve watched Android rivals fold for years macrumors.com.
