iOS 26 may be just around the corner, but Apple is already shifting attention to iOS 27 — and its long-rumored foldable iPhone.
According to Mark Gurman’s Power On newsletter, Apple is prioritizing iOS 27 development with a focus on features tailored to the upcoming foldable device, which is reportedly set to debut next year. Despite the shift in priorities, Gurman says users shouldn’t worry about a lack of user interface innovation in iOS 27.

The foldable iPhone is expected to be a high-end product with a rumored $2,000 price tag, according to Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. It will reportedly skip Face ID in favor of Touch ID to save space and will feature a book-style fold, as opposed to Samsung’s flip-style design.
Gurman notes Apple’s design direction is influenced by preferences in the Chinese market, where book-style foldables are more popular.
