Apple’s first foldable iPhone is finally expected to debut this year alongside the iPhone 18 Pro models. While the Cupertino-based tech giant has yet to confirm the details, a new report suggests that the purported handset could have a significant impact on the foldable smartphone market. Samsung is reported to maintain its leadership position, but Apple’s foray into this segment could lead to an increase in foldable smartphone shipments by 20 percent, with wider adoption of book-style foldables also playing a key factor.
