The market for foldable smartphones has stalled with customers’ decreasing interest in foldable devices. This can all change if Apple makes a foldable iPhone and introduces it to the public, states Ross Young, a display analyst.
Apple is rumored to be joining the foldable smartphone market in 2026 because they hold a ruling position over the smartphone market right now. The company could potentially start making a foldable smartphone which can increase the foldable smartphone market’s growth as interest is rekindled.
Rumors are circulating that Apple is working on a foldable iPhone with some analysts inclined to believe that the company is finally set to debut one in 2026, September. The design is expected to be a clamshell milar to the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip which folds vertically, measuring 7.9 to 8.3 inches in size. Young expects over 30% growth in the market for foldable smartphones next year, and it will increase by 20% by 2027 – 2028.
