The iPhone business, which accounts for around half of Apple’s overall revenue, is in a sales slump following years of mostly incremental upgrades to its devices.

The next big upgrade to Apple’s mobile devices could be foldability, according to multiple reports published Sunday. According to The Wall Street Journal,

Apple's first foldable iPhone might not look the way many had expected. (Hint: there won't be a clamshell design.)

Apple is said to be working on two foldable devices, which will be launched in the coming years. One model, as per The Wall Street Journal, will be a larger device with a 19-inch display that could compete with desktop monitors. The other will be a smaller foldable iPhone with a screen larger than the 6.9-inch iPhone 16 Pro Max.

After claiming the foldable iPhone is coming in 2026, a display insider says that Apple has chosen the Fold design over the Flip.

Apple is reportedly planning to release a foldable iPhone, the iPhone Flip, in 2026, which will mimic the design of the Galaxy Z Flip and feature a 7.9-8.3 inch display and a clamshell-style layout.

There's a lot riding on Apple's plans for the iPhone in 2025. At a time when consumers are holding onto their phones for longer periods of time, it's harder than ever to entice iPhone users to upgrade. According to a CNET survey in partnership with YouGov, 44% of smartphone owners only buy a new phone when their current one needs replacing.

Reportedly, Apple is working on a foldable iPhone and iPad, with the latter expected to feature a display larger than the biggest MacBook Pro

Apple Inc. is reportedly developing a giant foldable iPad that could come to market around 2028, according to the latest reports of the iPhone maker exploring foldable devices as the technology matures in Android products.
