Most foldable phones on the market today have inward folding designs, like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5. However, according to Apple analyst Jeff Pu, Apple may take a different approach with its first foldable phone. iPhone.

Reportedly, the upcoming “iPhone FoldIt will have a 7.9-inch OLED display that folds outwards, similar to the Huawei Mate Xs 2 (if Apple decides to name it).

Huawei was one of the first companies to launch an innovative foldable phone with a rotating display. But the company has since changed the design of the current generation of foldable devices to a book style with two screens, one on the cover and one on the inside.

The change is thought to be due to concerns about the durability of the display, as the external display will not be protected when folded. This means that users should use such devices with extreme caution.

However, the foldable design has its own advantages. This design makes the device thinner and lighter as it requires only one large panel, which can be used both folded and unfolded, so there is no need to install a second screen.

The outward folding design also gives the phone a stylish look and allows you to use the main camera even for selfies whether the device is folded or not.

Looking forward, analyst Pu suggests that the “iPhone Fold” will be released in 2026, around the same time as the iPhone 18. Besides the foldable iPhone, there are also rumors of a MacBook with a foldable screen. It is said that the device will have a 20.3-inch screen and will go into mass production by the end of 2025. However, other reports suggest it won’t launch until 2027.
