Folding iPhone: Flip or Fold?
Rumors suggest a folding iPhone may arrive in late 2026. Two potential designs are circulating: a "flip" style and a "fold" style. The flip design, similar to the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6, folds top-down, creating a compact device. It features a small outer screen for notifications and a main inner screen. The fold design, like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6, opens into a larger tablet-like display, similar to an iPad mini. Another concept imagines a laptop-style clamshell design.
