Tech Friday: Are we getting closer to a foldable Apple iPhone?
Posted By RichC on February 9, 2024
As an Apple advocate and device user from the 1980s and someone who as been begging for a foldable iPhone flip phone (or even slider) since using and retiring a foldable Samsung SPH i500 PalmOS device years ago, “I can’t wait”… as I mentioned to tech influencer Evan Kirsten.
We seem to be getting closer, but according to rumors, “an appearance won’t be until at least 2026.” ☹️
Apple is reportedly developing iPhone prototypes that fold like flip phones
According to The Intelligence, Apple is developing ‘at least two’ prototypes for iPhones that can fold in half.
These designs both fold horizontally, in a classic flip-phone design, rather than folding vertically like a book.
But, don’t expect to see these hit the shelves any time soon, as Apple says they won’t be ready until at least 2026.
