Despite the iPhone Fold yet to witness a launch, a new report states that Apple is mulling the launch of its iPhone Flip
The iPhone Fold could introduce a new clamshell form factor from Apple, as the company is said to expand its product portfolio in this category and take on its biggest rival, Samsung, in the process. The device in question is the iPhone Flip, and though this isn’t its official name, the technology giant is exploring a release in the near future. However, its materialization strongly depends on how successful its first foldable flagship is when it arrives later this year alongside the top-end iPhone 18 models.The iPhone Flip will deliver significantly less utility than the iPhone Fold, but the latter’s launch can act as a catalyst that will encourage customers to upgrade
Seeing as how Samsung unveiled a book-style foldable smartphone to the masses first, Apple is following a similar approach with the iPhone Fold, with Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman writing in the latest edition of the ‘Power On’ newsletter that the Cupertino firm is betting on its first model to carry sufficient demand momentum so the iPhone Flip’s launch becomes economically viable.
