The possibility that Apple presents a foldable iPhone It has been the subject of countless rumors in recent years, but all the leaksters agreed that we still have a lot to wait for. However, now it seems that we are on the verge of this turning point on the part of those from Cupertino.
A new rumor suggests that Apple is accelerating the development of its first foldable phoneworking with Taiwanese manufacturers to bring their components to life before starting production. And the truth is that it is about time since 5 years have passed since the first Samsung Fold see the light, although we already know that Apple usually lets the competition test new technologies first before jumping into the fray.
This is what happened with technologies such as 5G and this is being repeated with flexible screensprobably waiting for the moment when the hinge and flex of these panels will be imperceptible to the human eye.
A foldable iPhone in 2025?
Now the rumors collected by the UD News site indicate that Apple will begin mass production before the end of this year and if that’s the case, we can expect Apple’s foldable to launch sometime in 2025. Of course, there’s no indication of when, but we expect to see it arrive alongside Apple’s iPhone 17 models in September, given that the brand has a fairly rigid release schedule.
The source states that the reason for this early launch (depending on which date we look at it, of course) is due to the growing popularity of foldable devices of Samsung and Huawei in strategic markets. Consumer interest in foldable formats is at an all-time high, and developers and manufacturers like Xiaomi and OPO are joining the party, solving many of the initial problems with these formats, such as their weight, thickness, battery or its design.
Therefore, from Apple’s point of view, it is the perfect time to launch and gain some of that market share, especially with the arrival of Apple Intelligence in the coming months.
An exceptional 2025
If these new rumors are true, the truth is that 2025 will be a great year for Apple if we add them to other leaks that will make the iPhone 17 series one of the most spectacular ever launched by those from Cupertino.
At La Manzana Mordida we have already spoken this past summer about the rumors that suggest that the technology giant will present the iPhone 17 Slima hyper-thin model that would represent a revolution in the family, especially if we take into account this hypothetical folding that could represent the biggest change in the iPhone line in quite some time.
Even so, we are not going to put our hand in the fire, since we do not want you to end up disappointed next September because Apple only presents its usual 4 mobile phones. Better to wait and be cautious.
