Apple's First Foldable Devices Expected by 2026, Analyst Predicts

Rumors suggest Apple is developing foldable iPhone and iPad models, with production potentially starting next year.

Apple's foldable iPhone and iPad have reportedly entered the New Product Introduction phase at Foxconn, according to analyst Jeff Pu.
Mass production for these devices is expected to begin in the second half of 2026, with possible launches in late 2026 or early 2027.
The foldable iPhone is rumored to feature an 8-inch inner display, while the foldable iPad could have a screen as large as 19 inches when unfolded.
Analysts believe the introduction of foldable devices could help Apple recover from anticipated weak iPhone sales in 2025, driven by delayed Siri updates.
Speculation suggests these foldable devices will target the high-end market, with the foldable iPhone potentially priced above $2,000.
