Apple foldables could arrive as early as 2025, report says

While many foldable Android phones have hit the market, we’re still waiting for Apple’s take on the form factor. A new report suggests we may have to wait at least another year or two.

According to MacRumors, analyst Jeff Pu said in a note to investors that “foldable devices are increasingly visible in Apple’s supply chain” and that progress in their field is “accelerating.” The first of these devices would be a large-screen iPad or MacBook, followed possibly by a foldable iPhone.

One of the large foldable displays is said to have a 20.3-inch screen. Whatever this device is, it would go into production in 2025. A previous report claimed that Apple delayed the project, aiming to reach 2027 due to issues fixing the screen crease. 2025 would therefore be much sooner than most people would have imagined. However, the outlet points out that information from Korean display makers, as well as American and Taiwanese hinge makers, appears to confirm this time frame.

Meanwhile, the report claims that the foldable iPhone could have a 7.9 or 8.3-inch display. It is believed that this phone could enter mass production in late 2026.

Pu also recently shared details about the possibility of a slim model entering the iPhone 17 lineup. This slim variant would replace the existing 6.7-inch Plus model.
