At the WWDC 2026 keynote, Apple focused on the launch of iOS 27, but intriguing hints about a potential foldable iPhone emerged from the software update. Researcher M1Astra discovered code strings such as 'foldState' and 'mechanicalAngleDegrees' in the iOS 27 developer beta, suggesting that the software can recognize the folding state of a device. Furthermore, the display repair utility in iOS 27 refers to a secondary display and additional sensors, which would be logical for a foldable device featuring both an outer screen and a larger internal display. Additionally, iOS 27 introduces larger full-screen widgets that could enhance user experience on a foldable screen. Apple also encouraged developers to create apps that can adapt to various screen sizes, indicating preparations for a foldable iPhone. Despite these hints, Apple has yet to confirm any plans for a foldable device publicly, leaving the tech community speculating about the future of the iPhone.
