SANTA CLARA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, JUL 29 – Apple aims to capture a $65 billion market with its foldable iPhone, expected to sell millions by 2029 and feature a crease-free display and titanium frame, analysts say.
- Apple is anticipated to introduce its debut foldable iPhone within the iPhone 18 series at the company's annual event scheduled for September 2026.
- This launch follows Apple's absence from the foldable phone market, where competitors like Samsung have sold folding smartphones since 2019.
- The foldable iPhone will feature a book-style fold with a 7.8-inch inner display and 5.5-inch outer screen, targeting the premium segment.
- Analyst Samik Chatterjee projects a $1,999 price tag, expects shipments in the low-teens millions by fiscal 2027, and a potential $65 billion revenue opportunity.
- Though some consumers express concerns about screen durability and longevity, this foldable model could significantly impact Apple’s earnings and benefit suppliers like Amphenol and Corning.
