Title: Foldable iPhone Coming in 2026, Foldable iPad to Follow in 2028 Post by: HCK on September 03, 2025, 04:05:06 pm Foldable iPhone Coming in 2026, Foldable iPad to Follow in 2028
Apple plans to release a foldable iPhone (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/iphone/) in 2026, and will then follow it up with a foldable iPad (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ipad/) in 2028, Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/ming-chi-kuo/) said today (https://mingchikuo.craft.me/wagmqku5BLUxzH). (https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2025/08/Apple-Foldable-Thumb.jpg) Multiple sources have now confirmed that Apple is planning to release its first foldable ‌iPhone‌ in 2026, with the device coming as part of the iPhone 18 (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-18/) lineup. Launch timing on a larger-screened foldable device has been more uncertain. Originally, rumors indicated that the foldable ‌iPad‌ or MacBook would come before the ‌iPhone‌, and there have been launch rumors (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/foldable-ipad/) with dates ranging from 2026 to 2028. Rumors have also varied between calling the foldable device an ‌iPad‌ and a MacBook, but it seems like all of the information about a larger foldable refers to the same product. The foldable ‌iPad‌ could have a screen between 18 and 20 inches when unfolded, with a smaller form factor when closed. According to Kuo, Apple is using ultra-thin cover glass for both the foldable ‌iPhone‌ and foldable ‌iPad‌, which is a rumor that we've heard before. Corning will supply the ultra-thin cover glass, but General Interface Solutions (GIS) will work with Corning on cutting, corner treatments, inspection, packaging, and shipping. Kuo expects Apple to sell somewhere between 8 to 10 million foldable iPhones in 2026, and up to 25 million in 2027. The larger-screened foldable is not expected to sell as well because Kuo says it will be priced "considerably higher" than the foldable ‌iPhone‌.<div class="linkback">Tags: Foldable iPad (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/foldable-ipad/), Foldable iPhone (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/foldable-iphone/)</div> This article, "Foldable iPhone Coming in 2026, Foldable iPad to Follow in 2028 (https://www.macrumors.com/2025/09/02/foldable-iphone-foldable-ipad-launch-dates/)" first appeared on MacRumors.com (https://www.macrumors.com) Discuss this article (https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/foldable-iphone-coming-in-2026-foldable-ipad-to-follow-in-2028.2464490/) in our forums Source: Foldable iPhone Coming in 2026, Foldable iPad to Follow in 2028 (https://www.macrumors.com/2025/09/02/foldable-iphone-foldable-ipad-launch-dates/) |
