Apple is gearing up to launch its highly anticipated foldable iPhone next year alongside the iPhone 18. As production draws closer, new details and refined renders continue to surface, offering us our most realistic glimpse yet at Apple's venture into foldable technology.
What We Know So Far About the Foldable iPhone
The foldable iPhone is expected to adopt a unique design that sets it apart from other foldables on the market. The external display will be notably smaller, and when unfolded, the phone will be wider than it is tall, diverging from traditional smartphone dimensions.
New Renders Offer an Unprecedented Look
These latest renders, shared by industry insider Ice Universe, provide perhaps the most accurate representation of the foldable iPhone to date. Featuring a minimal crease, the device showcases Apple’s advancement in foldable display technology, promising a sleek and refined form factor.
Community Feedback on the Design
Current votes: Majority (100%) feel that while the design is promising, there is room for improvement.
Will It Win Over Consumers?
The foldable iPhone's reception is expected to be mixed. While some users are excited by Apple’s innovative approach, others remain skeptical about the form factor and design choices. Personally, the leaked designs have tempered some earlier enthusiasm.
While Apple is making a major push into foldable devices, Samsung will continue to compete with its own Galaxy foldable series. This particular foldable form factor, though not new, could become more mainstream after Apple's entry—much like many other technologies Apple has popularized in the past. However, not everyone will embrace the change, myself included.
