Gurman: Apple is actively exploring a flip-style foldable iPhone | Infinium-tech
The past few months have been full of rumors for the iPhone Fold, which is expected to launch later this year, but Apple is reportedly already exploring options for a more compact entry. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Cupertino is already exploring options to bring a “square, clamshell-like iPhone” to market. Its development is reportedly under consideration inside Apple Labs.
Gurman did not provide any additional details or a potential launch date for the iPhone Flip and also mentioned that there is no guarantee that it will actually come to market. Apple needs to first test the market with its book-style iPhone Fold and see how consumers respond.
A flip-style folding iPhone has been rumored to be in development for the past few years, with previous reports suggesting Apple has at least two prototype versions. Cupertino was also expected to launch a flip-style Fold before the book-style.
