Apple’s Foldable iPhone And New Cross breed Gadget Expected In 2026
Apple’s Foldable iPhone // Apple is set to unveil two foldable devices in 2026: a flip-style iPhone and a hybrid device that combines features of an iPad and a MacBook. The iPad/MacBook hybrid, with its impressive 18.8-inch display, is expected to hit the shelves first, possibly in the second quarter of 2026. The foldable iPhone is expected to make its appearance towards the end of 2026, following Apple’s pattern of staggered releases. However, the foldable iPhone’s launch might be pushed back further.
Details about these devices are still under wraps, but Jeff Pu is optimistic about the release dates, especially after Apple secured a supply deal for foldable iPhone screens. Apple has also reportedly started collaborating with Asian suppliers for components and given the foldable iPhone project the internal code name “V68.” Rumors suggest that this device will feature advanced AI capabilities to improve user interaction.
Apple’s Foldable iPhone // Apple has not officially confirmed any of these foldable devices yet, and everything remains speculative until Apple makes an announcement. In the meantime, the company’s immediate focus is on the upcoming iPhone 16 series, which is set to launch this September. At WWDC 2024, Apple previewed its new Apple Intelligence features, hinting they would be part of the next iPhone series. However, recent reports suggest that these features might be delayed.
Apple Intelligence could roll out with iOS 18.1 in October, with additional updates possibly extending into 2025. Notably, the much-anticipated Siri overhaul and its integration with OpenAI might not be seen until later. While there’s a lot of buzz about Apple’s entry into the foldable market, the official word is still pending. For now, Apple is concentrating on refining its current lineup, including the iPhone 16 and its evolving software features.
