Foldable iPhone and iPad
Talking about Apple’s foldable devices, the company may launch its first foldable iPhone in 2026. At the same time, the foldable iPad can be commercially available in 2028. The company has delayed the launch of the foldable device due to technical issues with the hinge mechanism. The foldable iPhone will have a larger display than the current Pro Max model.
