Apple’s first foldable iPhone starts this fallbut we’re increasingly hearing that there’s an entirely different folding design in the works: an ‘iPhone Flip’.
The iPhone Flip is being tested by Apple for supply chain leaks
This fall, the iPhone will receive one of its most radical new designs ever, as it debuts a new foldable form factor.
Rumors indicate that the iPhone Fold will have a book-style folding design.
However, it looks like Apple is already hard at work on another foldable model for the future.
Recently Mark Gurman reported that Apple had a square, clamshell-style foldable iPhone “under consideration.”
Now, it looks like the development is actually further along than that.
Weibo whistleblower Fixed Focus Digital, which has a reputation for supply chain leaks, shared an update last night.
According to his new postApple has officially tested a ‘Flip’-style foldable iPhone, but it’s currently undecided whether it will proceed to mass production.
It’s unclear what exactly this testing has yielded, but it appears that Apple is quite serious about the prospect of launching a flip-style iPhone in the future.
If the iPhone Flip officially joins Apple’s product roadmap, the earliest we could see it launch is fall 2027. However, 2028 or later is probably a safer bet.
