Apple is reportedly developing foldable devices, signaling a potential shift in its product strategy.
A foldable iPhone with a 7.8-inch inner display is in the New Product Introduction (NPI) phase at Foxconn. Early prototyping is scheduled for April 2025, with mass production expected in the second half of 2026.
A larger foldable device, resembling a MacBook, features an 18.8-inch display and may run macOS instead of iPadOS. This could introduce touch functionality to Macs.
Software updates, iOS 19 and macOS 16, may include features to support foldable designs and touchscreen Macs.
These developments suggest Apple is investing in foldable technology, potentially redefining its product lineup and user experience.
