He folding iPhone It is a device that we have been talking about for a long time. Many people believed that he was never going to leave, and it is the typical futuristic prototype that stays at all. However, the last rumors and leaks say it will come out, and next year.
Apparently, according to Digitimes and the information that could be contrasted with Apple and its pieces of pieces, the company began phase P1 (first prototype) in June 2025, preparing the ground to launch the device next to the iPhone 18 series in autumn of 2026.
We will have a new folding iPhone next year
As we just said, Digitimes seems to have contrasted information that states that the first of the phases would have begun. The process advances in stages P1 → P2 → P3, each of approximately two months, followed by EVT tests (Engineering verification test). The objective is to complete the prototypes by the end of 2025 and enter the EVT phase in 2026, coinciding with the planned launch.
All this, as always, is a simple planning, and although normally, deadlines are usually met, it does not guarantee that it is so, and could be delayed. What is clear, is that we will have a folding iPhone, whether in 2026 or 2027, something that many users did not see feasible, since Apple does not usually innovate that way, and see a phone that is completely out of the company's line, will be curious.
Regarding folding iPadit seems that there is less news, and Apple could have suspended its production, due to technical difficulties, greater production cost (flexible displays) and low demand for the market, so they will first try an iPhone, and then they may resume this project, or forget it forever, if the phone is successful.
There is no news about the size of the device, although it is believed that one of them could around 7.8 inchesthat although it is not a barbarity, it would allow us to have a smaller iPhone than the current ones, and that when opening it it becomes a kind of tablet, much more comfortable and visual to watch movies, series, or read, among other functions. Their autonomy, price, and other features are also a mystery, and we will only know them when Apple officializes them.
What will be interesting, really, is to see how Apple solves some of the problems that other manufacturers have not yet achieved. The hinges that are wearing up, the screens with visible wrinkles or the mobile phones that do not close well are things that people are not willing to accept, much less if we talk about an Apple product. If someone can do well, they are probably them, but they will have to prove it. It remains to be seen if they give it a more professional approach, with support for the Apple Pencil or special productivity functions, or if they simply want to offer a new way of using the iPhone. What is clear is that it will not leave anyone indifferent.
And you, what do you think of this product? Is it how we think and we would like?
