New Delhi, March 21 -- Apple is reportedly developing its first foldable iPhone, and one of its key suppliers stands to benefit significantly from the use of an advanced material in its construction.

According to TF Securities International analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the upcoming device is likely to incorporate liquid metal in its hinge mechanism, enhancing both durability and reducing the crease on the inner display.

Although Apple has yet to officially confirm the development of a foldable smartphone, reports indicate that the device could arrive by late 2026. The move would place Apple in direct competition with rivals such as Samsung and Oppo, both of whom have already launched foldable models.
