Foldable Apple iPhone far from reality

If you are Apple user and waiting for foldable phone from the American technological giant, then you might have to wait for a little long.

According to new report from Hitong Securities, the device codenamed V68 won’t be coming until 2026.

Despite making numerous appearances in renders, it is still far from becoming a reality this year, or even next year, Apple analyst Jeff Pu said.

The second foldable, which is making rounds online is an M5-powered iPad/Mac hybrid with a 20.3-inch internal display when fully opened.

According to Pu, Apple will release the foldable iPad/Mac hybrid first during the second quarter of 2026.

The said the company is concerned with the durability of the device which is causing the delay.

It was reported back in May that Apple have signed a contract with Samsung for foldable displays. And last month, Apple was awarded a patent titled “Electronic Devices with Durable Folding Displays” for the creation of a more durable glass panel.

Earlier this year, the company reportedly created two different iPhone prototypes. One was a book-style iPhone foldable similar to the Galaxy Z Fold line, and the other was a clamshell iPhone similar to the Galaxy Z Flip series.

Both rival models are immensely popular and are currently leading the market.
