Apple foldable iPhone rumors: Analyst predicts 2027 release
Apple continues to research foldable iPhones, iPads, and Macs despite slow consumer interest in such products, which are currently expensive and prone to damage. Apple may release one or more foldable devices as soon as 2027, but the company is likely waiting for technology improvements that could reduce costs and resolve issues like hinge reliability. A folding iPhone, positioned at a similar price point to current models but with a larger unfolded display to offset any compromises in features and a compact design, would build on Apple's historic efforts to redefine entire product categories.
