Macworld With the (somewhat) budget-focused iPhone 17e out of the way, leakers are free to focus on the more premium handsets which Apple will launch later in the year. And the most premium of these is the iPhone Fold, which has been the subject of several leaks this week. The most useful of the new revelations, assuming the information is accurate this far from launch, comes from the prolific albeit somewhat unproven leaker Instant Digital. They claim to have details of the iPhone Fold’s storage tiers, plus Chinese pricing for each. According to a post on Weibo, the models will look like this: 256GB: RMB 15,999 512GB: RMB 17,999 1TB: RMB 19,999 Based on current conversion rates between the Chinese yuan and the U.S. dollar, that would equate to the following approximate price tags: 256GB: $2,330 512GB: $2,621 1TB: $2,913 But of course, Apple rarely uses strict currency conversion rates when selling products in overseas territories, as U.K. fans have discovered to their cost. A 256GB iPhone 17 Pro, for example, costs $1,099 in the U.S., which ought to translate to RMB 7,546; instead, that device currently costs RMB 8,999. And if we use that conversion rate (dividing the cost in yuan by 8.188 and adjusting for Apple’s usual pricing tiers), we’d end up with the following more palatable U.S. matrix: 256GB: $1,999 512GB: $2,199 1TB: $2,399 A starting price close to $2,000 might sound like a lot, but that’s actually a fair bit lower than we’ve been expecting. Sources had previously pointed to a whopping $2,399. Elsewhere, the Korean-language site The Bell (via MacRumors) reports that the RAM in the iPhone Fold will be supplied by Samsung, and that there will be 12GB of it. That’s the same as the RAM allocation in the iPhone Air and iPhone 17 Pro, but perhaps we should be grateful if it even stays the same, given how much the price of that commodity has risen. Finally, a new leaker, so take this with a big pinch of salt, has claimed the name of Apple’s first foldable will not be the iPhone Fold at all. An individual going by the handle WayLabs has claimed on Weibo that it will instead be called the iPhone Ultra. That isn’t an entirely absurd idea, given that Apple already uses that suffix on top-end products such as the Apple Watch Ultra and the Ultra versions of its M-class chips, so it’s not unprecedented. And a report from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman earlier this week floated the idea of a line of “Ultra” devices. Far less conventional is WayLabs’ prediction of the device’s starting price. Whereas Instant Digital predicted an entry point of RMB 15,999, WayLabs says only that it “may exceed 10,000,” a far lower threshold. For comparison, RMB 10,000 would translate to $1,456 using the current exchange rate, or just $1,221 using our more practical ratio. That’s barely any higher than the iPhone 17 Pro Max, which starts at $1,199. A bargain! The iPhone Fold… sorry, iPhone Ultra is expected to launch in September.

Apple is already on Instagram, where it primarily shares photos and videos for its Shot on iPhone campaign, but the company is expanding its horizons. Apple today launched another Instagram account called Hello Apple (@helloapple), where it will share company news, stories, product marketing, and more. The account will showcase how Apple products inspire creativity and help to make a difference in everyday lives, and it will highlight work from Apple's creator community. Apple said the account will occasionally provide behind-the-scenes peeks too, so fans will want to follow along to learn something new. "Our stories, and yours," the account's bio says. Apple has already started sharing some content, including a video that says "Hello" and a post that shares Apple CEO Tim Cook's new "50 Years of Thinking Different" letter. Apple turns 50 on April 1, and it plans to celebrate over the coming weeks. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Hello Apple (@helloapple) There are also posts related to the MacBook Neo, Apple TV being the exclusive place to watch F1 races in the United States, and more. Apple continues to have special Instagram accounts for Apple Music, Apple News, Apple Books, Apple TV, Apple Fitness+, Apple Creator Studio, and more. Apple has also been active on TikTok, and it recently began allowing users to comment on the videos that it shares on that platform. Altogether, it amounts to Apple expanding its social media presence to reach even more people. Apple has more than 36 million followers on its main Instagram account, and the new "Hello Apple" account is quickly amassing thousands of followers.Tag: InstagramThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums01:56 pmPerplexity’s Personal Computer is a Mac mini running an AI OS
Macworld While AI companies turn to powerful Nvidia GPUs for high-end AI workloads, at-home enthusiasts are consistently turning to an unlikely PC maker for their AI needs. On Wednesday, Perplexity announced Personal Computer, an AI agent that “runs continuously, merging your local applications with Perplexity Computer.” The system runs on Perplexity’s “secure servers,” but what hardware does it all run on? An M4 Mac mini. Perplexity explains that its Personal Computer “works in a secure environment with clear safeguards. Sensitive actions require approval, and every session includes a full audit trail. A kill switch gives users immediate control.” The platform was built on Perplexity’s existing foundation and ensures that every query runs in its own “secure sandbox.” It’s not the first time Apple’s tiny PC made headlines as an AI tool. In January, social media was overrun with people running the free, open-source AI assistant Clawdbot on stacks of Mac minis before Anthropic killed the buzz. Perplexity calls Personal Computer “more powerful than any AI system ever launched.” We don’t know yet which Mac mini it will be running on, but we assume it has the maximum RAM (64GB on the M4 Pro) model and a giant hard drive. It’s also unclear whether Apple is supplying the company with Mac minis or whether Perplexity is simply using off-the-shelf units. It’s also not clear how Perplexity is selling this system, as there’s simply a waitlist with no pricing information. It’s worth noting that there have been strong rumors that Apple will be launching a new M5 Mac mini imminently, and the announcement doesn’t mention the chip or configuration of the machine. Apple was rumored to be in talks to acquire Perplexity before it partnered with Google to use Gemini as the foundation for the new Siri.01:46 pmGrammarly wisely killed off feature that plagiarized top writers' voices

A teardown of the new MacBook Neo by Australian YouTube repair channel Tech Re-Nu reveals what may be the most modular and repair-friendly Mac laptop in recent times. The Neo is shown being taken apart in just six minutes, suggesting Apple has prioritized simplicity across the board, using standard Torx screws (T3, T5, and T8) and a clean cable routing design. To open the aluminum body, eight screws on the bottom are loosened, similar to the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro. Inside, a tiny motherboard sits, surrounded by a stripped-back internal layout with minimal parts and no hinge covers. The battery is secured by 18 screws and lifts straight out – there are no stretch-release adhesive tabs, and no sticky glue holding it in place. In fact, the teardown encountered zero tape throughout the entire disassembly, which is a first for a modern Mac. The two USB-C ports, speakers, and the headphone jack are all modular, so the individual components can be swapped without replacing larger assemblies. The speakers, for example, come out with just four screws each and no adhesive. Indeed, the only adhesive found in the machine was a small amount on the trackpad where a cable connects it to the mainboard. Tech Re-Nu does not entirely disassemble the Neo, but we know it is possible to remove the keyboard for repair without replacing the entire top case – which is a huge boost for any repairability score. Taken together, it looks like the $599 MacBook Neo is a lot more repairable than some might have expected for an Apple laptop.Related Roundup: MacBook NeoTag: TeardownBuyer's Guide: MacBook Neo (Buy Now)Related Forum: MacBook NeoThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums01:34 pmTest flight new version 1.0.1 review taking hours?

Apple has published its MacBook Neo repair manual, and it reveals some big repairability news: the keyboard can be replaced individually. For many years, replacing the keyboard in a MacBook has required replacing the entire Top Case, which refers to the top half of the aluminum shell surrounding the keyboard. For example, the latest MacBook Air has a "Top Case with Keyboard" part, and the latest MacBook Pro models have a "Top Case with Battery and Keyboard" part. For the MacBook Neo, there are separate Keyboard, Keyboard with Touch ID, and Top Case parts, and Apple shows how to replace the keyboard individually. While there are still more than 40 screws involved to replace the keyboard on its own, the process is much easier than replacing an entire Top Case, which requires lots of disassembly. More importantly for customers, the MacBook Neo's individual keyboard parts will likely be much more affordable when they become available on Apple's self-service store. In the U.S., Top Case parts for recent MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models cost around $400 to $600. The standalone Keyboard and Keyboard with Touch ID parts for the MacBook Neo will likely be hundreds of dollars cheaper by comparison, but exact pricing remains to be seen. MacBook Neo launched on Wednesday, and it has been praised for its value and performance. Now, improved repairability is another positive.Related Roundup: MacBook NeoBuyer's Guide: MacBook Neo (Buy Now)Related Forum: MacBook NeoThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums01:26 pmApple announces 50th anniversary celebration is coming

Apple CEO Tim Cook today shared a "50 Years of Thinking Different" letter, ahead of the company's 50th anniversary on April 1, 2026. Here is the full letter:Fifty years ago in a small garage, a big idea was born. Apple was founded on the simple notion that technology should be personal, and that belief — radical at the time — changed everything. April 1st marks 50 years of Apple. From the first Apple computer to the Mac, from iPod to iPhone, iPad to Apple Watch and AirPods, as well as the services we use every day — the App Store, Apple Music, Apple Pay, iCloud, and Apple TV — we’ve spent five decades rethinking what’s possible and putting powerful tools into people’s hands. Through every breakthrough, one idea has guided us — that the world is moved forward by people who think different. That’s because progress always begins with someone — an inventor or scientist, a student or storyteller — who imagines a better way, a new idea, a different path. That spirit has guided Apple from the start. But it has never belonged to us alone. Every invention we bring into the world is just the beginning of a story. The most meaningful chapters are written by all of you — the people who use our technology to work, learn, dream, and discover. You’ve made breakthroughs and launched businesses. You’ve cheered up loved ones in the hospital and captured your toddler’s first steps. You’ve run marathons, written books, and rekindled friendships. You’ve chased your curiosity, found your new favorite song, and shared stories that connect us all. In your hands, the tools we make have improved lives, and sometimes even saved them. And that is what inspires us — not what technology can do alone, but everything you can do with it. At Apple, we’re more focused on building tomorrow than remembering yesterday. But we couldn’t let this milestone pass without thanking the millions of people who make Apple what it is today — our incredible teams around the world, our developer community, and every customer who has joined us on this journey. Your ideas inspire our work. Your trust drives us to do better. Your stories remind us of all we can accomplish when we think different. If you’ve taught us anything, it’s that the people crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do. So here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. Here’s to you.Tag: Tim CookThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums12:45 pmAmazon Introduces First Cash Discounts on New MacBook Air and MacBook Pro

Apple's first foldable iPhone will feature 12GB of RAM supplied by Samsung, with the latter set to begin DRAM shipments in the second quarter of this year in line with Apple's production schedule. Korea-based media outlet The Bell reports that Samsung was able to negotiate a substantially higher price than previous memory contracts with Apple, owing to tightening global memory supply amid the AI server build-out. The price of a 12GB LPDDR5X module, which is already used in the iPhone Air and iPhone 17 Pro, has risen sharply from around $30 at the beginning of 2025 to roughly $70 at the start of this year. Despite Apple's typical multi-vendor strategy, the company is said to be expanding the share of iPhone memory it sources from Samsung due to rapidly rising memory prices. Concentrating a much larger share of orders with Samsung should allow Apple to secure more predictable deliveries and potentially benefit from economies of scale, even as overall component costs rise. That said, companies such as SK hynix and Micron are also believed to have secured DRAM purchase orders from Apple for its first foldable, though these are expected to enter the supply chain at a much later date. Apple's book-style foldable will operate like a cross between an iPhone and an iPad, recent reports suggest. When closed, it will resemble a traditional slab-style iPhone, but when open, it will be closer to the size of the iPad mini. Rather than a tall design, Apple is using a wider design than its competitors, and it is expected to have a 4:3 aspect ratio. The foldable iPhone or "iPhone Fold" is expected to launch in September alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max.Tags: Foldable iPhone, SamsungThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums11:43 amThe App Store is generally a bit unfriendly to developers, isn’t it?

Macworld The new MacBook Neo and M5 Pro/Max MacBook Pro laptops haven’t even been out for 48 hours, and we’re already looking to the next models. Right on cue, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has offered some insight on Apple’s upcoming roadmap, which is handy if you’ve decided to forego this round of laptops and want to know what’s next. “MacBook Pro is expected to receive a major upgrade with OLED touch panels in late 4Q26 or early 1Q27,” reports Kuo, who has reported this in the past, and is basically reaffirming his report. This falls in line with other past reports of a MacBook Pro touchscreen coming later this year. The touchscreen is expected to be the centerpiece of the M6 Pro and Max upgrades. Kuo also reports that the second generation of the MacBook Neo won’t have a touchscreen. Kuo reports that Apple had toyed with the idea of a touchscreen Neo to challenge the touchscreen Chromebook market, but ultimately decided against it, at least for now. “My latest industry checks suggest Neo 2 may not adopt it,” Kuo writes. As for the MacBook Air, Kuo states that Apple will upgrade the screen from an LED to an OLED display, but it won’t happen until 2028 or 2029. The rest of Kuo’s report covers supplier-related MacBook Neo details, including an estimate of 4.5 million Neo units to be sold for this year with shipments growing steadily as back-to-school and the holiday shopping seasons approach. Adding to the Neo’s success is a struggling PC laptop market due to the escalating RAM shortage, which could result in higher prices. Kuo said he expects total MacBook shipments to reach 25 million, “the only real bright spot among laptop brands.”11:09 amiPhone Fold will called iPhone Ultra, guesses new leaker

Macworld Apple hopes to accomplish a lot of things with the MacBook Neo, not the least of which includes attracting more users to switch to the Mac. But it’s more than just growing the Mac user base. Apple hopes that by using a Mac, users will see the benefits of Apple’s ecosystem, which will lead to investing in an iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, etc. Supposed that’s what happens: You decide to go all-in on Apple. But like the MacBook Neo, you want to spend as little as possible on each device. How much will that cost you at the Apple Store? Well. let’s figure that out! Below is a list of the cheapest devices for the major Apple categories, along with what you get for the price. MacBook Neo Price When Reviewed: $599 Best Prices Today: $599 at Amazon$599 at Apple$599 at Walmart We’re starting with the MacBook Neo, since it’s now the new gateway into Apple’s ecosystem. It has an A18 Pro chip that offers excellent performance comparable to an M1 or M2 chip, so it’s powerful enough for some productivity tasks, web browsing, and even basic media editing. It has a gorgeous aluminum design in four colors, a very good 13-inch Liquid Retina display, and all-day battery life. Its 256GB SSD is a little small, but you can always sign up for an Individual Apple One plan for $19.95 per month, which includes 50GB of iCloud storage. Read our full Apple MacBook Neo review iPhone 17e Price When Reviewed: $599 Best Prices Today: $599 at Apple The iPhone 17e and the MacBook Neo have similar target audiences: switchers and budget-conscious customers. The 17e has an A19 chip with the same number of CPU and GPU cores as the MacBook Neo’s A18 Pro, and its 48MP Fusion camera that will be great for family photos and videos. You’ll also get a 6.1-inch display with Ceramic Shield, 256GB of storage, 5G, Face ID, MagSafe, and incredible battery life. Oh, and it comes in pink to match your Blush MacBook Neo. Apple Watch SE 3 Price When Reviewed: From $249 Best Prices Today: $239 at Amazon$249.99 at Target $269 at Walmart The Apple Watch is already one of the more affordable devices in Apple’s lineup. But at $249, the SE offers many of the same health and lifestyle features as the higher-end Apple Watches, including notifications for heart rate, heart rhythm, and low cardio fitness, the Vitals app, and sleep tracking. Also, Neo users can use the Apple Watch SE to unlock their device, approve passwords, and authenticate Apple Pay requests on the model without Touch ID. iPad (A16) Price When Reviewed: $349 Best Prices Today: $329 at Amazon$343 at Walmart$349 at Apple With a MacBook available for $599, the iPad is, more than ever, a consumption device. It’s the thing you grab in bed or at the beach to read ebooks, watch videos, and maybe play a casual game, make a FaceTime call, or check text messages. For those things, you don’t need anything more powerful than the entry-level iPad, which has an 11-inch Retina Display and an A16 chip. Read our full Apple iPad (A16) review EarPods (USB-C) Price When Reviewed: $19 Best Prices Today: $19 at Amazon$19.88 at Walmart$19.99 at Best Buy Wireless is all the rage, but Apple’s cheapest earbuds aren’t AirPods, they’re the USB-C EarPods. You’ll miss out on a ton of features, like how the AirPods can switch between devices seamlessly and hands-free Siri, but for just $19, they’re a surprisingly solid option that won’t ever run out of battery life. If you absolutely have to have a pair of wireless earbuds, you’ll pay are $110 more for a pair of AirPods 4. Apple One (Individual Plan) Price When Reviewed: $15/month Best Prices Today: $15 at Apple This is the only recurring charge on this list, and it’s not imperative, but a subscription to Apple One really opens up the Apple ecosystem. For $20 a month, you’ll get Apple Music, TV, and Arcade, as well as 50GB of iCloud storage for backups, files, and photos that sync across all of your devices. Here is my total at the U.S. online Apple Store. Foundry For the first time ever, you can go all-in on the Apple ecosystem for less than the price of some MacBooks. Even if you upgrade to AirPods 4, you’re still under $2,000. The MacBook Neo has highlighted just how affordable the Apple ecosystem really is, and you no longer need to spend thousands of dollars to get a fantastic set of devices. That total doesn’t include the Apple One subscription, and doesn’t include AppleCare, which is another $20 per month for AppleCare One to cover your MacBook, iPad, and iPhone against accidents. You can shop around for lesser prices on Amazon or Best Buy, and I you use your Apple Card, you’ll get a decent chunk of cash back (over $50) on the purchase, too. Overall, not a bad haul for less than $2,000.10:02 amiPhone Fold Said to Come in These Three Storage Options
The storage capacity options for Apple's upcoming book-style foldable iPhone have allegedly leaked, along with their approximate pricing. According to the Weibo-based leaker Instant Digital, Apple will offer iPhone Fold storage capacities in the following three tiers: 256GB – ~$2,320 512GB – ~$2,610 1TB – ~$2,900 For context, Apple presently offers the iPhone 17 Pro in the same three storage options – 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB – with the iPhone 17 Pro Max offered in a fourth 2TB storage option costing $1,999. Note that the corresponding storage prices shown above are approximate USD conversions from Chinese yuan at the current exchange rate, and shouldn't be taken as reflective of the final price in the U.S. As such, consider them ballpark figures. The starting price of the foldable iPhone could be nearly twice as much as the iPhone 17 Pro Max, and Apple could put it somewhere between $1,800 and $2,500, which is double what the iPhone 17 Pro costs. The latest rumors suggest it will be on the higher side of that estimate, and these approximate storage tier prices appear to bear that out. Instant Digital has a good track record for Apple rumors and has provided some strikingly accurate information ahead of time, such as the imminent launch of 2023's Yellow iPhone 14, the frosted back glass of the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus. Notably, for the iPhone 17 Pro, the leaker accurately reported the device's 256GB base storage configuration and its improved telephoto camera, as well as its improved battery life, thermal design, and display brightness, so it's worth taking these purported storage capacities seriously. Apple is expected to launch its first foldable iPhone this September.Tags: Foldable iPhone, Instant DigitalThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums09:54 amTwilio Flex TaskRouter – Maintenance

Macworld TL;DR: Love Apple’s Find My tracking but hate the chunky AirTag shape? The MagTag Ultra Slim Tracker Card fits in your wallet and is just $23.99. Apple’s Find My technology was a fantastic game-changer for tracking your stuff. But their shape is really not practical. That’s why the MagTag slim tracker card is the new game-changer. Instead of a weirdly round puck, this tracker is shaped like a credit card and just 1.5mm thin, so it slides neatly into your wallet, passport pouch, backpack, or luggage tag without creating a bulge. Even better, it still works seamlessly with the Apple Find My app, which means you can locate your belongings using Apple’s massive global device network. If you leave something behind, MagTag can send instant separation alerts, letting you know your wallet or bag didn’t make it out the door with you. And if something gets misplaced nearby, you can trigger a loud beep to help you find it faster. The card also features a built-in keyring hole, so you can attach it to keys, kids’ backpacks, luggage tags, or ID lanyards. Unlike many trackers, MagTag includes a rechargeable battery that lasts up to five months and charges wirelessly with any Qi charger. Don’t miss grabbing this MagTag Ultra Slim Tracker Card while it’s just $23.99 (MSRP $59.99).

Please see our post for more details: https://support.newrelic.com/s/hubtopic/aAXPh000000HVSPOA4/action-required-root-certificate-update-on-april-1-2026Mar 12, 00:28 UTCIn progress - Scheduled maintenance is currently in progress. We will provide updates as necessary.Mar 3, 16:28 UTCScheduled - On March 12th at 00:00 UTC, New Relic will initiate a proactive testing window where endpoints will temporarily transition to the DigiCert G2 root certificate. This event is designed to support customers in proactively identifying impacted systems ahead of the permanent root certificate update scheduled for April 2nd (UTC). This aligns with an industry-wide security change. On April 15th, 2026, major browser trust stores and security authorities will officially distrust the legacy DigiCert G1 Root Certificate. To maintain its strong continued security posture, New Relic is updating its infrastructure to utilize modern root certificates prior to this deadline. Most modern systems and agents are designed to handle this change automatically.If your systems do not recognize and trust these newer root certificates when the update is applied, the secure handshake will fail and would result in a telemetry data drop, meaning your metrics, events, traces, and logs may stop reporting to the New Relic platform. This risk is primarily associated with legacy Java agents (older than v6.4.2), certain Docker images, and systems using pinned certificates. Any further updates will be posted on status.newrelic.com, as well as our forum: https://support.newrelic.com/s/hubtopic/aAXPh000000HVSPOA4/action-required-root-certificate-update-on-april-1-202602:13 amBartender for Mac is good again, and my menu bar is very thankful

Apple is planning to launch a MacBook Air with an OLED display, but it won't come for several years after the MacBook Pro is updated with OLED screen technology. We're not going to see an OLED MacBook Air until at least 2028, according to Bloomberg. Large, high-quality OLED displays are expensive, and it will take some time for the technology to come down in price enough that it can be used in Apple's midrange devices. Apple brought OLED to the 11-inch and 13-inch iPad Pro models in 2024, introducing the first larger-sized OLED screens. The iPhone and Apple Watch have used OLED for years, but it is more complicated with bigger displays. Apple wants to transition its flagship Mac and iPad models to OLED, with OLED eventually used across all product lines. OLED displays have better contrast than the LCD and mini-LED displays that Apple is using for current Macs, providing richer colors and deeper blacks. OLED also supports wider viewing angles and is often more power efficient because black pixels don't light up. A MacBook Pro with a touchscreen OLED display is in development, and rumors suggest that we're going to get it as soon as late 2026, though Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said today that we could be waiting until early 2027. Kuo also said that we won't see an OLED MacBook Air until 2028 or 2029, so the MacBook Air will likely continue to use LCD display technology until then. It's possible Apple could do an interim mini-LED update, but there are no rumors suggesting that's the case yet.Related Roundup: MacBook AirTag: OLEDBuyer's Guide: MacBook Air (Buy Now)Related Forum: MacBook AirThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums10:31 pmNew iOS and iPadOS security updates arrive for older Apple hardware

The fifth Friday Night Baseball season will begin with the Los Angeles Angels facing off against the Houston Astros, followed by the Cleveland Guardians playing against the Seattle Mariners.

The upcoming foldable iPhone that Apple plans to debut this September will operate like a cross between an iPhone and an iPad, reports Bloomberg. When the device is opened up, the UI will have an iPad-like layout that supports multitasking with two apps side-by-side. No iPhone to date has supported running multiple apps on the display at the same time, beyond simple picture-in-picture mode features. Many apps will feature sidebars on the left of the display, and developers will be given tools to adapt their existing apps for the new interface. The iPad interface makes sense because the iPhone Fold is something of an iPhone and iPad hybrid. When closed, it will resemble a traditional slab-style iPhone, but when open, it will be closer to the size of the iPad mini. Rather than a tall design, Apple is using a wider design than its competitors, and it is expected to have a 4:3 aspect ratio. A wider display will make the iPhone Fold more useful for side-by-side apps, video watching, and similar tasks that people are used to doing with an iPad. When the iPhone Fold is closed, the outer display will look like a standard iPhone. It will display apps and it will have a hole-punch front-facing camera for selfies, but there isn't Face ID support. Instead, Apple is using a fingerprint sensor that's included in the power button. The camera area will still support Dynamic Island features for Live Activities and relevant notifications even though there's no TrueDepth system. Apple did test a camera that was underneath the inner display, but it produced poor images compared to the hole punch version, so Apple opted for a visible camera. The rear area will have dual cameras, but no triple-lens camera system because of space constraints. Though the iPhone Fold will have a display with some features that are also available on the iPad, it will run iOS, not iPadOS. It will not support the full range of multitasking features that are available on the iPad, and it won't run existing iPadOS apps. Apple plans to price the iPhone Fold somewhere around $2,000, and it will be the most expensive iPhone in the 2026 lineup.Related Roundup: iPhone 18Tags: Foldable iPhone, Mark GurmanRelated Forum: iPhoneThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums08:26 pmiPhone Fold expected to include new app features, including side-by-side multitasking
