- Apple is reportedly considering a second foldable, which arrives after the iPhone Fold rumored to launch this year.
- With its second foldable, Apple may be considering a more traditional clamshell design, similar to the Galaxy Z Fold or the Motorola Razr.
- There are no concrete plans yet, and this phone may not arrive anytime soon.
Apple has a few new form factors that it has long reported to be working on. The most buzzworthy is the iPhone Fold, which is expected to debut alongside the iPhone 18 later at Apple’s yearly September event. Much before its launch, the iPhone Fold is already shaping trends with its unusual “wider” aspect ratio and driving Android brands to adopt the same. Apple’s next foldable, however, could be far more conventional.
While the first Apple foldable has yet to hit the shelves, the industry is buzzing with speculation about the second. Bloomberg‘s Mark Gurman notes that Apple has begun considering its second foldable, which will align with what brands like Samsung and Motorola have been doing for over half a decade. Gurman, in the latest edition of his weekly newsletter, says that the next foldable device would be “a square, clamshell-style foldable phone,” rivaling the Galaxy Z Flip and the Motorola Razr.
