After claiming the foldable iPhone is coming in 2026, a display insider says that Apple has chosen the Fold design over the Flip.

The first approach is the a top-down fold, where the opened device has a similar sized screen to an existing iPhone, and it folds down to a very pocketable device with half the height and width, at the cost of twice the thickness.

There's a lot riding on Apple's plans for the iPhone in 2025. At a time when consumers are holding onto their phones for longer periods of time, it's harder than ever to entice iPhone users to upgrade. According to a CNET survey in partnership with YouGov, 44% of smartphone owners only buy a new phone when their current one needs replacing.
