According to the latest report from Counterpoint Research, the foldable smartphone market is expected to stagnate or even decline in 2024 and 2025. Counterpoint Research pointed out that one of the hopes to reverse the downward trend of folding screens lies in Apple. As one of the world’s largest and most influential mobile phone manufacturers, Apple is expected to enter the folding screen market in the second half of 2026, which may bring significant growth to the market.
According to previous reports, Apple may have reached an agreement with manufacturers to produce folding screens for new iPhones. It is expected that the folding screen iPhone will adopt a clamshell design similar to the Galaxy Z Flip series and will be equipped with A-series chips and new technologies.
However, compared with competitors such as Samsung and Huawei, Apple’s foldable screen came out a full seven years later. Although the technical gap is not so obvious, it is not easy for the iPhone Flip to succeed.
In addition, at the 2024 Korea Display Conference (KDC), senior researcher Kang Min-soo predicted that Apple is expected to release a foldable iPhone with a screen size of 7-8 inches in 2026.
