Apple foldable iPhone release date revealed?

Apple announced the release of a foldable iPhone, however, users are still curious about its launch date.

Tim Cook’s Cupertino-based tech giant is not anticipated to release a foldable iPhone until at least 2027, however, its presence in the market could have a prominent impact, according to a recent report by TrendForce, a Taiwanese research firm.

Accounting for just 1.5%, foldable phones comprise a small section of the smartphone gadget market currently.

However, as per the indications by the projections, this could increase to 4.8% by 2028.

Apple is reportedly “still evaluating component specifications and performance, with stringent requirements for crease and reliability.”

Moreover, screen creasing is something from which many current foldable devices suffer. This raises concerns about their long-term durability and the potential for screen damage, which is caused by debris.

Apple foldable iPhone's competitors

Apple’s delayed entry might not be a disadvantage as tech companies like Samsung, Huawei, Motorola and Nubia have already launched popular foldable devices.

Once it launches, a foldable iPhone is likely to quickly become popular, as per a suggestion by the tech giant’s substantial market influence and loyal customer base.

Analysts also put forward the idea that Apple’s introduction of a foldable phone could “significantly shift market dynamics.”

Apple is widely expected to debut a large-screen foldable iPad or MacBook before introducing a foldable iPhone. In this way the American tech giant will be marking its initial venture into this gadget category.
