While Apple hasn\u2019t released a similar device yet, it plans to launch at least three new foldable mobile devices in the next four years. Its first foldable device could launch next year, but its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sammobile.com\/news\/foldable-iphone-launch-2026-rival-galaxy-z-flip\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Galaxy Z Flip competitor<\/a> won\u2019t be available until 2028.\n<\/p>\n<p>According to revered Korean tipster <a href=\"https:\/\/m.blog.naver.com\/yeux1122\/224049467632\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">yeux1122<\/a> (via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.macworld.com\/article\/2950068\/porominent-leaker-details-three-alleged-new-upcoming-iphone-designs.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">MacWorld<\/a>), Apple plans to launch three significantly new iPhones in the next three years. The first foldable iPhone is expected to launch in 2026 and will resemble a Galaxy Z Fold 7. It could feature an 8-inch foldable screen that opens into an iPad Mini-like device. The second device will be a completely bezel-free iPhone with an OLED panel that is bent on all four sides.<\/p>\n<p>\nFirst flip-style iPhone could rival the Galaxy Z Flip 10 in 2028\n<\/p>\n<p>            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Apple-iPhone-Foldable.jpeg\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" alt=\"apple iphone foldable\" class=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The third device is rumoured to be a Galaxy Z Flip 7-like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sammobile.com\/news\/first-foldable-iphone-on-track-rival-galaxy-z-flip-8\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">iPhone with a clamshell design<\/a>. It will feature a sub-7-inch internal foldable display and a simple cover screen that displays essential information and notifications. The decision between a fullscreen cover display, similar to the Galaxy Z Flip 7, or a smaller display, like older Galaxy Z Flip phones, remains uncertain.\n<\/p>\n<p>If this information is accurate, Samsung has three more years to perfect the Galaxy Z Flip formula. The Galaxy Z Flip 7 is a really good flip-style foldable phone, but Samsung can definitely work on increasing the battery life, improving the cameras to match Galaxy S series phones, and removing the crease completely.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>All three foldable devices will likely use foldable OLED panels from Samsung Display. It is also working on an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sammobile.com\/news\/samsung-may-supply-apple-foldable-display-2029-ipad\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">18-inch foldable iPad<\/a>, featuring a foldable OLED panel from Samsung. Initially planned to launch in 2028, the company has reportedly delayed the launch to 2029 due to design-related issues.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<a class=\"google-preferred-news-source-cta-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sammobile.com\/news\/add-sammobile-as-a-preferred-source-on-google-to-always-get-the-latest-news\/\" style=\"display: inline-block;\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" id=\"google-preferred-badge\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/1761232930_610_google_preferred_source_badge_dark.png\" alt=\"Google Preferred News Source\" style=\"max-width: 50%; height: auto;\"\/><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It\u2019s been close to seven years since Samsung launched its first foldable phone.
