Apple is rumored to release a foldable iPhone in 2026, requiring significant iOS changes for multitasking capabilities.
The CMF Phone 3 concept introduces a side-mounted accessory point that looks like a strap or handle attachment, signaling an interesting direction: expanding modularity beyond the back plate and into the frame itself.
2025 was a big year for Samsung in foldable phones. It redesigned the to become the lightest book-style folding phone of the year, and unveiled the then-new, two-hinged Galaxy Z TriFold. It appears that the Korean electronics maker is returning to its era of hardware innovation and won't stop anytime soon. A new report by ET News claims that Samsung is developing a million units of a wide-screen Galaxy Fold, which will differ from all existing Galaxy foldable phones.
The source hints at a 7.6-inch internal display, probably in a 4:3 aspect ratio that will resemble a tablet when unfolded and facilitate easier multitasking, document work and the like. The obvious drawback is an extra-wide form factor while folded, making it potentially difficult to handle with one hand.
Just as previous rumors have suggested, the iPhone Fold will bring a similar design to Google's first-gen Pixel Fold with a wide cover screen. The front panel is rumored to come in at 5.5 inches, and it features a single punch hole cutout up top for the selfie camera. Based on speculation, it will go for a 4:3 aspect ratio, making it more usable than the square-ish aspects of most current book foldables.
