Apple hasn’t publicly confirmed it, but everyone seems to know it: there will be a foldable iPhone this year. Referred to by some as the ‘iPhone Ultra’, it’s expected to be Apple’s first foray into the folding phone form factor. Not only that, but the Cupertino company expects to sell a lot of them.
Recent reporting from Nikkei Asia suggests that Apple is stepping up production to make upwards of 10 million foldable iPhones, ready to go on sale later this year. That’s still a fraction of the overall iPhone market, but it’s a decent number for what will be a new product category for Apple.
As previously reported, the foldable iPhone is expected to adopt a shorter, more passport-like shape than other brands’ handsets. It’s also a size that Samsung has teased for its latest range of foldable phones. Analyst firm IDC forecast nearly 30 per cent growth for the foldables market in 2026, largely because of Apple’s widely expected debut.
