Apple\u2019s first foldable iPhone launches this fall<\/a>, but we\u2019re increasingly hearing that there\u2019s an entirely different folding design in the works too: an \u2018iPhone Flip.\u2019<\/p>\n

iPhone Flip is being tested by Apple, per supply chain leak<\/p>\n

This fall, the iPhone will get one of its most radical new models ever as a new foldable form factor debuts.<\/p>\n

Rumors indicate the iPhone Fold will have a book-style folding design.<\/p>\n

However, it sounds like Apple is already hard at work on a different foldable model for the future.<\/p>\n

Recently Mark Gurman reported<\/a> that Apple had a square, clamshell-style foldable iPhone \u201cunder consideration.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now, it sounds like development is actually further along than that.<\/p>\n

Weibo leaker Fixed Focus Digital, who has a reputation for supply chain leaks, shared an update last night.<\/p>\n

Per his new post<\/a>, Apple has officially tested a \u2018Flip\u2019 style folding iPhone, but it\u2019s currently undetermined whether it will move on toward mass production.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unclear what exactly this testing has entailed, but it sounds like Apple is fairly serious about the prospect of launching a flip-style iPhone in the future.<\/p>\n

If the iPhone Flip does officially join Apple\u2019s product roadmap, the earliest we would likely see it launch is fall 2027. However, 2028 or later is probably a safer bet.<\/p>\n

Would you be interested in an iPhone Flip, or is a book-style foldable your preference? Let us know in the comments.<\/p>\n
