Apple expected to unveil first foldable iPhone at tomorrow's event

Apple’s new chief executive, John Ternus, is set to unveil the company’s first fold‑able iPhone at a product event scheduled for tomorrow, marking a significant milestone for a firm that has traditionally led the smartphone market. The announcement comes seven years after Samsung introduced its Galaxy Fold, positioning Apple as a late entrant to the foldable segment but underscoring its continued industry influence under Ternus’s leadership. Industry analysts note that the upcoming launch reflects Apple’s strategy of refining emerging technologies before mass adoption, and the event is expected to focus on the foldable model rather than the anticipated iPhone 18 lineup.

According to multiple reports, the standard iPhone 18 will be postponed, with the Pro variants slated for release first while the base model is expected early next year. The foldable device is rumored to feature a seamless hinge, a larger adaptive display, and integration with Apple’s existing ecosystem, aiming to differentiate it from competitors. If the launch proceeds as anticipated, Apple will join the foldable market with a product that leverages its design pedigree and software integration, potentially reshaping consumer expectations and reinforcing the company’s role as a trendsetter in mobile technology.
