Bloomberg: Apple will release a folding smartphone in 2026, in 2025-iPhone 17 Air
The American Corporation Apple will release its first folding smartphone in 2026. It is reported by Bloomberg.
According to the authoritative insider Mark Gurman, the company completes the development of the first folding iPhone. The specialist revealed the deadline for the release of the apparatus – he believes that the device with a flexible display will be presented in 2026.
Apple should also present another smartphone with a new design – probably the deadlines for its release are combined with the terms of the announcement of the iPhone 18. Perhaps the corporation will change the design and appearance of the basic devices of the series that have not been updated for a long time.
The material says that in 2025 an American IT giant will show a new smartphone with a record thin case. Most likely, they will be iPhone 17 Air.
In his report, Mark Gurman also noted that Apple actually left the market of inexpensive smartphones. The analyst recalled that earlier Tima Cook presented the iPhone 16e – the most affordable phone in the Apple line now costs $ 599, or about 53 thousand rubles. “The company practically lost its place to Samsung, Google and Chinese manufacturers,” the author summed up.
In mid -December, the journalists of The Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg predicted that the American Corporation Apple will release the first folding devices no earlier than 2026. Apple is expected to solve the technical problems that imposed restrictions on the production of such devices.
