A new investor note from analyst Jeff Pu offers fresh details about the device’s construction. Pu suggests that Apple will use a mix of titanium and aluminium for the foldable iPhone’s frame. Upcoming iPhone Fold New Update According to Pu’s report (via 9to5Mac), the iPhone 18 Fold will feature a hybrid metal frame made from both titanium and aluminium, a design choice likely intended to balance durability with weight. While Pu didn’t share further design specifics, previous leaks from Ming-Chi Kuo claimed that the foldable iPhone’s hinge mechanism would combine stainless steel and titanium, while the main casing would be made entirely of titanium. Earlier this year, Bloomberg described the device as looking like “two titanium iPhone Airs side-by-side,” hinting at a slim and premium design approach. Currently, Apple uses titanium only in the iPhone Air lineup. Earlier iPhone Pro models also featured titanium, but Apple switched those to aluminium this year to enhance thermal performance and manage heat more efficiently. iPhone Fold - What Else We Know? As for the display, reports indicate that the iPhone 18 Fold will come with a 5.5-inch outer screen and a 7.8-inch inner display. This setup makes the outer display similar in size to the iPhone mini, while the inner foldable screen is close to the iPad mini in dimensions. Kuo’s report further notes that the device might skip Face ID in favour of Touch ID for biometric authentication. On the software side, Apple is expected to make significant changes with iOS 27, which will reportedly be optimised for the foldable form factor. According to Bloomberg, iOS 27 will introduce new features tailored for foldable devices, ensuring a smooth experience when switching between display modes. Pu’s investor note also mentions that demand for the iPhone 17 lineup has been stronger than Apple initially anticipated. It is a positive sign for the company as it prepares for its next big leap in smartphone design with the iPhone 18 Fold. FAQs Q1. What materials will the iPhone 18 Fold use for its frame? Answer.
