Apple is working on a foldable Flip-format smartphone
According to sources, Apple is disappointed with the sales of the thin and lightweight iPhone Air. There is no decision to cancel the iPhone Air 2, but this line has clearly not become the 'fresh blood' to refresh the company's lineup. Therefore, Apple is accelerating the development of foldable models.
As known from previous rumors, the company has been testing Fold form-factor devices for a long time. It is expected that Apple will dare to release a device of this form factor in 2026. But now, for the first time, there are rumors that a Flip form-factor device has appeared in the company's plans for 2028.
On the other hand, recent rumors have also emerged that Apple is planning to delay the release of a foldable smartphone. It is clear that this topic is actively becoming entangled in speculation, making it difficult to determine where the truth lies and where there is just an attempt to create an info content. Judging by the delay, releasing a new form factor is a big gamble for Apple, which could result in billions in profits or in losses. Throughout his leadership of the company, Tim Cook has not shown himself to be a maverick leader willing to go into hell with dubious innovations. But after ten years of planned development, the public expects a new vision from the company that will redefine the entire industry.
