Apple Reportedly Working on Foldable iPhone With Similar Design as Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip

Apple is working on a foldable iPhone that could be released as early as 2026, according to an exclusive report published today by The Information.



The report claims the device would feature a “clamshell” design, similar to Samsung’s line of Galaxy Z Flip smartphones. Apple is said to have contacted suppliers in Asia in recent months about making components for the device.

Rumors about a foldable iPhone have circulated for many years, but the report claims that Apple is finally moving forward with the project. The device has allegedly been given a codename of “V68” inside Apple, suggesting that work is ramping up.

Apple is said to have struggled to achieve its goal of eliminating a visible crease in the area where the iPhone’s screen would fold, but this obstacle could eventually be overcome. However, there is of course a possibility that Apple decides not to release a foldable iPhone, should the device fail to meet the company’s high quality standards.

In any case, it appears that a foldable iPhone is still at least a few years away.
