📰 Apple is reportedly considering a square foldable smartphone that opens like a classic clamshell. This is reported by Mark Gurman, Bloomberg. According to him, such a device would compete with phones like the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip and Motorola Razr — compact smartphones that fold in half.
📒 First comes the “book-style” foldable
Before releasing a flip model, Apple is expected to launch its first foldable iPhone in a book-style format – similar to large foldable phones that open like a tablet. Only if that device proves successful might Apple move on to a smaller clamshell version.
Apple is betting that its first foldable iPhone will be successful enough to generate real demand for the category and that customers will want additional shapes and sizes, much as they have with traditional slab-style iPhones,
Gurman notes.
🔮 The flip version is far from guaranteed, but insiders suggest Apple could unveil its first foldable iPhone in the second half of 2026 – possibly as early as September.
