We return to the latest recent information about Apple’s first foldable, the possible iPhone 18 Fold
We have had different reports and rumors about Apple’s first foldable over the years. The latest ones indicate that there will be two products, an iPhone and an iPad. However, the first to debut would be a foldable iPhone and that is why We will return to this path of rumors to recapitulate the most recent according to various sources.
What will Apple’s first foldable be like?
According to the last information published by The Wall Street JournalApple’s first foldable iPhone would have a Screen size larger than iPhone Pro Max. It would go over 7 inches and its folding style would be clamshell type, as we can see in the Galaxy Z Flip or the Motorola Razr. When folded it would be smaller although in this case it is not detailed how small it would be.
As soon as to the possible foldable iPad, it would be a great product “intended to function as a laptop” since it would have a approximately 19 inch screen.
Apple has been working on its foldable for many years
What is now complicated for those from Cupertino are technical details. For example, in the development of the folding product, reducing the visibility of said fold is taken into account in addition to having a better material for the hinge. This would contribute to a quality fold that lasts for years.
Apple’s foldable would improve the declining foldable device market
According Information about Display Supply Chain Consultants, the first foldable iPhone from Apple would give the foldable device market a new boost to grow in the future. Little is said about how important they were between the years 2019 to 2023. Their year-on-year growth rate reached 40%. However, it is very prIt is likely that the growth slowdown is about to begin. A drop in sales is expected from 2025.
Current demand for panels dedicated to foldable devices has remained “stalled” at 22 million panels. Activity could increase if Apple enters this market although, as we know, it won’t happen so soon. Perhaps Apple already has new users for its foldable iPhones that are currently on Android brands.
The launch will not happen in 2025
The foldable iPhone would arrive in 2026
If we thought that the foldable iPhone was closer than ever, we have to inform you that Its launch is not planned until the second half of 2026. It could be one of the surprises along with the launch of the iPhone 18.
Those from Cupertino have already passed the prototype stageso it already has a code name (V68) for its first foldable iPhone. Taking into account that there are no longer any delays in development, we think that the foldable iPhone could very soon move into its first official stage of production and testing. Would you buy the first foldable iPhone as soon as it goes on sale?
