Get ready, iPhone fans! A foldable iPhone might be hitting the market as soon as 2026, according to a recent report by The Information. Here are some key details about this exciting development:

– The foldable iPhone, codenamed v68, will feature a clamshell form factor similar to models like the Motorola Razr and Samsung Galaxy Z Flip.
– When open, the phone will maintain the design and dimensions of a traditional non-foldable iPhone handset.

This news comes after TF International analyst Ming-Chi Kuo hinted earlier this year that Apple was working on a foldable M5-powered Mac with a large display. Now, it seems Apple is shifting its focus to developing a foldable iPhone to compete with other devices in the Chinese smartphone market.

Apple has been prioritizing durability when it comes to foldable displays. Recent reports revealed that Apple paused work on a foldable iPhone after a display supplied by Samsung failed during testing. However, Apple has now been granted a patent for “Electronic Devices with Durable Folding Displays” by the USPTO, indicating progress in improving screen durability.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip series has been dominating the foldable phone market, with the latest Galaxy Z Flip 6 set to launch alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 6. As we eagerly await more details about the upcoming foldable iPhone, one thing is for sure – it’s bound to make waves in the world of telecommunications.

Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting development!
