Apple readies first foldable and iPhone refresh for milestone anniversary
Apple seems to be preparing to unveil its first foldable device as early as 2026-2027. The company could make changes to the iPhone to mark the 20th anniversary of its premium smartphone segment and the 10th anniversary of the first OLED iPhone.
TheElec reports that Apple could bring its first foldable device to the market by 2026 or 2027. The product, featuring a display as large as 7 to 8-inch, is said to replace the 8.3-inch iPad mini model. It is also revealed that Samsung and LG Display supplied 6/7-inch foldable OLED samples to Apple last year.

Whether Apple will market it as an iPhone or iPad is yet to be finalized, the report says. As the company is also working on an OLED iPad, it could be interesting to see whether the product sees light or not. Meanwhile, a potential threat to Samsung is on the way, and it’s certainly from Apple.
Samsung is currently leading the global foldable smartphone market. The company has, so far, released five generations of foldable phones, bringing futuristic technologies like S Pen support, water resistance and an under-display camera.
Compared to Korea’s LG Display, Samsung’s display arm is said to be more active in developing Apple foldable panels. If Apple decides to mass-produce foldable product panels sized between 7 to 8 inches by 2026, Samsung Display is only capable.
Last but not least, Korean industry insiders assume that the Apple iPhone will be refreshed in the same year. To be noted, 2027 will be the 20th anniversary of the launch of Apple’s first iPhone and the 10th anniversary of the launch of the first OLED iPhone.

Samsung is reportedly working on the development of the Galaxy S24 FE. Earlier this year, the company released the Galaxy S24 flagships, which are selling well globally. Now, the company has started work on its next budget flagship, with a release expected later this year.
GalaxyClub reports that Samsung is developing the Galaxy S24 FE with the R12 codename. The codename aligns with Samsung’s previous releases as the S20 FE was codenamed R8, the S21 FE was R9, the S23 FE was R11, and the R11 (S22 FE) was in development but hasn’t been released.
It was reported that Samsung might launch the S24 FE in the summer. As the development starts late, the release may be pushed to later this year, as testing and production aren’t finalized yet. The latest report also has no other details than the device’s codename.
Galaxy S23 FE has the hardware specs of the S22 series, however, the S24 FE might bring the latest. If it happens, we might see a price hike in the next budget flagship. New Galaxy AI features are also expected to debut with the S24 FE, before the S25 series launch next year.
Samsung is also working on an affordable Galaxy Z Fold 6, which would be the first Fan Edition foldable. Judging from the 2023 release strategy, it’s expected that the Galaxy S24 FE might launch alongside the Galaxy Z Fold FE, new FE tablets.
