Apple’s first foldable will be a book-style iPhone Fold (tentative name) that could rival the Galaxy Z Fold 7. But if that device sells well, Apple might test the waters for a clamshell iPhone Flip next year. A report has surfaced that claims the company is already working on a concept design for the iPhone Flip.
iPhone Flip has been in the headlines for a while. But it was momentarily overshadowed by a swarm of leaks about the iPhone Fold. Apple has taken an interest in both foldable categories (via Bloomberg). The publication claims Apple has now started testing the iPhone Flip.
It’s being said that Apple’s discussions have moved beyond the initial concept for a clamshell device, possibly named the iPhone Flip. They are actively doing internal testing. Nothing can be said about the mass production at this moment.
We heard some earlier reports on the same subject. An analyst has advised that the Apple iPhone Flip could have a square form factor when closed. This is only the testing phase, so they are not actually settling for a single form factor. Multiple designs are being evaluated.

One thing you can bet on is that Apple will target the same demographic as the Galaxy Z Flip 7 or the Motorola Razr 60; those who want compact phones and prefer portability above anything else. Most still buy these Flip phones for the nostalgia of older feature handsets.
Anyway, the potential launch window for the iPhone Flip is as early as 2027. And that’s based on the assumption that Apple’s first iPhone Fold does well in the market. The company has the propensity to price its first-gen products excessively. Case in point, the Apple Vision Pro.
The foldable market is very volatile. And a high price could make or break iPhone Fold’s reception. And that will put iPhone Flip at risk as well. We’ll keep you in the loop about further developments. Keep watching the news.
