Apple could have a flip phone on the way, like the Galaxy Z Flip

It’s all but confirmed that Apple has its first foldable phone on the way this year. Even though the foldable hasn’t been officially announced, a new report suggests that the company that just hit record iPhone sales already has plans to follow it up with a flip phone.

In the coming months, Apple is widely tipped to announce its debut foldable, similar in design to the well-regarded Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7. According to Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman, Apple is currently looking at making a square-shaped foldable phone, like the Galaxy Z Flip range or the Motorola Razr handsets.

Gurman suggests that the follow-up phone is “far from guaranteed to reach the market”, but the fact that it’s on the table indicates some level of confidence from Apple in the form factor.

That confidence likely stems from the growing demand for foldable phones across regions like China and South Korea. Samsung has done well in its home nation of South Korea with its flip phones, while the Chinese brand Honor has its own suite of foldables.

Last week, Apple announced a record-breaking quarter, totalling US$143.8 billion, much of which was driven by record iPhone sales. Services, which consist of App Store commissions, subscriptions, and advertising, also reached record highs.

Aside from iPhones, Gurman also reported that Apple is nearing its first Mac launch of 2026. Based on current stock shortages, it’s expected that a new MacBook Pro is just around the corner, likely between now and March.

The new MacBook Pro isn’t expected to radically change the form factor. Instead, it’ll mainly focus on faster internals and processing power. Apple’s heavily rumoured touchscreen variant is tipped to arrive by either the end of this year or in early 2027.
