Apple’s foldable iPhone, which could come as soon as 2026, will bend in half horizontally, according to The Information. The outlet reported back in February that Apple was developing very early prototypes of two different folding iPhones. But Apple seems to have settled on a design, the device comes with the internal codename of V68.
Apple is trying to reduce the crease that appears when the phone unfolds. The second goal is to make the device thinner. It was entirely in line with an identical report from 9TO5Mac on Tuesday, which also wrote about the foldable iPhone that Apple is working on. Also, there are unconfirmed rumors about a foldable MacBook-like device being worked on; that one is said to begin shipping in 2026.
Besides foldable, Apple might upgrade next year’s iPhone with a mechanical aperture. This feature creates a depth-of-field effect, which blurs the backgrounds and automatically keeps focus on the subject. Further, Apple is said to be working on an even thinner iPhone in the year 2025.
These developments epitomize Apple’s commitment to innovation and the enrichment of user experience. At the forefront are foldable and new camera technologies, highlighting how the brand is dealing with competition. Apple enthusiasts are looking forward to these potential game-changing devices.
