Apple is preparing to release its first compound iPhone, which can be significantly different from current models. According to the Mago-Chu Analytics CUO of TF International Securities, the new device will get rid of Face ID because of limited interior space and return to the Touch ID.
This solution can be a serious change for the company, as Face ID was presented in the iPhone X in 2017 and has become a key feature of Apple smartphones. The latest iPhone iPhone ID was the iPhone SE (2022), and now this technology can get a second life. What is known? Design - in the style of the book. Internal display - 7.8 inches without folds. External display - 5.5 inches. Camera is a double lens and a front camera available in both modes. The thickness is 9–9.5 mm in folded state and 4.8 mm in decomposed. Apple plans to finally approve the performance of the device by the end of June 2025. The issue is scheduled for the second half of 2026, and mass production - at the end of 2027. The cost of a folding iPhone is expected to be from $ 2000 to $ 2500, and in 2026 only 3-5 million units will be released.
Apple is included in the delayed smartphone segment, but its approach can set new standards for the industry.
