If we regularly have news (more or less good) about the foldable iPhone, it is very difficult to determine its release date. Analyst Jeff Pu seems to have an answer. In a recent report, the latter states that the smartphone could arrive on the market in 2026. Years after the competition…
If Apple and Samsung regularly compete for first place among smartphone sellers, there is one area in which the Korean manufacturer has a considerable lead: folding smartphones. To tell the truth, he is not the only one: several players in the industry are already offering their model, while Apple is largely lagging behind. However, it’s not for lack of rumors about it.
For several years, analysts and leakers of all kinds have each used their own rumor to try to determine when Apple will unveil its own foldable iPhone. Because one thing is certain, the Cupertino company is indeed working on the subject. But now, these are coming soon, so we’ll have to wait a while before getting our hands on them. So, what is it really?
Folding iPhone could be released in 2026 according to this analyst
It seems that Jeff Pu has the answer. In a recent report, spotted by our colleagues at 9to5mac, the analyst states that Apple has accelerated the internet project, so that the ” visibility ” on the output window is now significantly clearer. According to him, the manufacturer would be working on a 20.3-inch foldable device for 2025, then a folding iPhone for 2026. This corresponds to previous rumors on the subject.

Jeff Pu also suggests that the folding iPhone could feature a 7.9-inch or 8.3-inch screen. Of course, we will have to wait a little longer to find out more on the issue, because the project seems to be encountering some internal difficulties. Whatever happens, Apple will arrive late in an already well-invested market. The competition does not hesitate to make fun of the firm, which is slow to offer its own folding devices.
