Apple enthusiasts eagerly anticipating a foldable iPhone might need to wait a bit longer. According to recent insights from Taiwanese research firm TrendForce, Apple is unlikely to release a foldable iPhone before 2027. While foldable phones are projected to grow from 1.5% to 4.8% of the smartphone market by 2028, Apple is meticulously refining its design to address issues like screen creasing and reliability.
Despite its delayed entry, Apple’s foldable iPhone is expected to significantly disrupt the market, leveraging the company’s massive influence and loyal customer base. Before the iPhone, Apple is anticipated to introduce foldable iPads or MacBooks, setting the stage for its foldable technology.
Apple’s cautious approach aims to ensure a superior product that meets its high standards, likely leading to a strong market impact when it finally launches. This strategy reflects Apple’s commitment to innovation and quality, even if it means arriving late to the foldable phone trend.
Stay tuned for further developments as Apple continues to perfect its foldable technology.
