Apple has reportedly created two clamshell-style foldable iPhone prototypes, but the development is still in the early stages and the devices likely won't come to market until at least 2026. Technical issues and creating compelling features for consumers are the main challenges, along with the need to make the device as thin as a regular iPhone when folded. Apple's first foldable device may be an iPad, which would carry less risk for the company, but engineers are still working on solutions for challenges such as the crease in the display and ensuring a flat screen when opened.

Apple is reportedly actively developing prototypes for a foldable clamshell iPhone and an 8-inch folding iPad, with at least two active models in progress. The foldable iPhone is still in early development, and Apple has faced challenges in meeting its design standards, including creating a thinner device when folded and reducing the crease in the display. The company has also explored the possibility of screens facing outwards when the device is closed. While the project may be cancelled if these challenges cannot be overcome, Apple has shifted focus to an inward folding iPad, about the size of an iPad mini, with less stringent durability requirements. The release of a foldable iPhone is not expected for the iPhone 16 and 17, and a previously planned 2025 launch may also be delayed.
