- No official details about the folding iPhone has been launched but
Throughout the previous yr we’ve heard lots concerning the long-rumored folding iPhone, however on the time of writing we’re nonetheless with none official affirmation or announcement from Apple itself.

Huawei just lately launched a teaser on Weibo wherein CEO Richard Yu is ‘caught’ with a brand new machine that appears awfully much like the iPad mini – albeit with a punch-hole selfie digicam embedded within the show.
The new Huawei machine, which GSMArena notes could fall into the model’s Pura or Pocket households, is noticeably smaller than an iPad mini, however could characteristic a squatter show than a traditional folding cellphone.
As Innogyan reviews, current Huawei teasers have incorporate the tagline “1610 opens up your creativeness [sic]”, which may counsel a laptop-style 16:10 side ratio.
This might be a response to rumors that Apple is focusing on an iPad mini-type type issue for its first ever foldable machine, relatively than a flip-phone resembling the iPhone 17 when unfolded
As we just lately reported, the newest rumors counsel an internal show measurement of seven.74 inches for the folding iPhone, not far off the 8.3-inch show discovered on the current-gen iPad mini.

And although the cellphone within the new Huawei teaser could look small, an 8-inch 16:10 show would solely measure round 4 inches huge when held vertically – which may match the profile of the machine proven.
Huawei is banned from doing enterprise within the US and has withdrawn from promoting telephones within the UK and Australia, so it’s overwhelmingly doubtless this new folding cellphone received’t pose a risk to Apple in different markets – however I reckon it’ll be sufficient to show heads at Apple HQ, as China is a large market and Huawei’s efforts could encourage copycats elsewhere.
Dropping teasers like it is a recognized technique for Huawei’s folding cellphone releases – the Huawei Mate XT tri-folding cellphone was additionally preceded by quite a few conspicuously-well shot public images.
