Market Outlook
Experts say that despite the high cost, the foldable iPhone will find its buyer among fans of the brand. The device could partially replace the iPad by combining the functionality of a smartphone and a tablet.
«It’s critical for Apple to not just release a foldable phone, but to offer a product that surpasses existing solutions in terms of quality and user experience» — commented an industry analyst.
An official statement from Apple has not yet been made. The company traditionally doesn’t comment on rumors about future products. However, insider information confirms that work on the device is in full swing.
It is expected that the announcement of a foldable iPhone may not take place before the second half of 2025. This event could turn the flagship smartphone market upside down and give new impetus to the development of foldable devices.
