Apple (AAPL.US) is reportedly working on a foldable iPhone, which could launch as early as 2026. The company has been in contact with Asian suppliers in recent months to discuss making related components.

The phone's appearance is expected to be similar to Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip released in 2020. However, cancellations of projects in the research and development stage are common for the company, so it is still unclear whether a foldable iPhone will actually launch, but if it does, it will be one of the biggest hardware design changes in iPhone history.

Apple has been developing a foldable iPhone since 2024, with a screen that unfolds to a size similar to current iPhone models. In recent years, Apple has been filing patents related to foldable products. In 2024, Apple began developing a foldable phone and signed a contract with Samsung Display (SDC) for the supply of panels.
