Foldable devices are one of the biggest trends at the moment, with numerous Android manufacturers getting in on the act. Apple is also reportedly interested in jumping on the bandwagon, but how much longer will we have to wait for the first folding iPhone?
For some time now, Apple has been rumoured to be working on a foldable model of the iPhone with an 8in screen and a resolution of 3200 x 1800 pixels. However, according to a new report from the analyst Ross Young, it will be 2025 before the model is launched, which is a year later than earlier rumours had suggested.
Most likely the device will feature support for the Apple Pencil; other than that, details are still relatively scarce. But there is plenty of evidence to back up the theory that a foldable iPhone model is in development. There are countless patent applications from Apple in this area, for example.
Several US analysts expect that we will see a foldable 12in iPad with 5G support before the time comes for a foldable iPhone. Apple is also understood to be working on a folding 20in display for the MacBook.
