Foldable iPhone coming sooner than you think (here’s when)
Things are not going very well with foldable smartphones. Interest in these smartphones seems to be decreasing. However, analyst Ross Young thinks that Apple can change this if they come up with a foldable smartphone themselves.
He expects Apple to release a foldable iPhone in the second half of 2026. Because Apple is one of the best sellers of top-of-the-line smartphones, this could also mean a boost for the foldable device market.
Ross Young also thinks that the foldable smartphone market will increase by thirty percent in 2026. And that growth will continue to increase by about twenty percent in 2027 and 2028.
The rumors that Apple will release a foldable iPhone have been around for some time. Those rumors also believe that Apple will launch such a foldable iPhone in 2026. This will probably be sometime in September.
The first foldable iPhone is expected to be between 7.9 and 8.3 inches in size. It will then have a foldable design, just like the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip or a Game Boy Advance SP from the past.
When you have unfolded the foldable iPhone, it is somewhat larger than current iPhones. But when it is closed you can easily put it in your pocket.
By the way, there have been rumors about a foldable iPhone before. The company has already filed several patents in 2023, which point to the production of a foldable device. For example, in a patent from March that year, Apple describes what happens if you drop a foldable iPhone. The device would then automatically close, so that the display remains well protected in the event of a fall.
