We are awaiting the launch of the next iPhone 16 just after the summer but there is already talk of the products that will be launched within two years, and according to the latest rumors Apple will debut in the foldable device segment with two new products that will be launched in 2026: an iPad-Macbook and an iPhone.
We have been talking about the foldable iPhone for years, and while other companies already have several generations of devices of this type, Apple seems to be in no rush to get into this new product segment. Although not yet very popular, you just have to go down the street and notice that there are very few users who have this type of smartphone despite the fact that their prices are even more affordable in some cases than Apple's iPhone, it seems that The market is condemned to turn to this new type of smartphones, although it remains to be seen what the real benefits of this folding design are. According to the latest rumors published by Jeff Pu, analyst, Apple will debut in the foldable device market in 2026 with two products, an iPad-Macbook hybrid and an iPhone.
The first to hit the market would be the foldable iPad or the “all-screen” MacBook, depending on how you look at it. It would be a hybrid between Apple's laptop and its tablet that, when deployed, would reach a screen size of 18,8 inches. No details have been given about what its operating system would be, it would not combine iPadOS and macOS depending on the use it was being given, or if it would release a new hybrid operating system between the two. What it has given is an estimate of the launch date: second quarter of 2026. Then the folding iPhone would arrive, at the end of 2026, with a design very similar to Samsung's Z-FlipThat is, it would be a square device that, when unfolded, would look like a current smartphone. There are two years left so there is time to save.
