🚨 Apple is expected to unveil its first foldable iPhone today, in what could become one of the biggest changes to the iPhone lineup in years.
The anticipated device would mark Apple’s entry into a smartphone category that has remained relatively niche despite years of development by companies including Samsung, Huawei and Motorola.
According to Reuters, Apple is expected to use a book-style “passport” design, with the larger unfolded display aimed at improving experiences such as watching videos and using multiple applications. (Reuters)
Foldable smartphones have faced challenges including screen durability, battery life, camera performance and the visible crease that appears when the display is unfolded. However, improvements in the technology have made newer devices more durable and refined.
Apple’s entry could significantly increase competition in the premium smartphone market. Analysts believe the company’s huge global customer base and influence over consumer technology could also help push foldable phones further into the mainstream.
The wider foldable market is expected to grow rapidly in 2026, with IDC forecasting nearly 30% growth in global foldable-phone shipments, even as the overall smartphone market faces weaker growth. (Reuters)
If Apple confirms the device, the launch could mark the beginning of a new era for the iPhone — and potentially reshape the future of smartphones. 📱🔥
