I keep dreaming of a folding iPhone? We have good and bad news for you.
According to a new report from Information (through 9to5Mac), Apple is actively developing several foldable devices and has at least two prototypes of foldable models.
The bad news: The foldable iPhone appears to be in early development and may not launch very soon. Worst news: Apple It still seems to be overcoming all the old hurdles that caused the company to halt foldable phone development in 2020.
According to the report, Apple wanted this phone to be really thin when unfolded – about half the thickness of current phone models – and the company also considered adding an outward-facing screen. But it seems that the company’s designers and engineers were unable to achieve these goals. They are also working on a way for the phone’s screen to lie completely flat when unfolded, but it is not known if they have achieved this either.
All of this means that the foldable iPhone likely won’t arrive this year or next. Maybe 2026 is the year?
Apple is also reportedly working on a larger device, a foldable iPad if you will. The report says that this device would have an 8-inch inward folding display; so you’d get something that’s as big as an iPad mini when folded and close to the largest iPad Pro when unfolded. Such a device could actually be closer to production than the iPhone, as Apple’s standards regarding thickness may not be as strict when it comes to a larger, tablet-like device.
