After Samsung, Oppo, Motorola and Huawei launches grabbed the mind space around foldable phones, it is being reported that Apple too is planning to bring its own iPhone Fold! So far, Samsung has been a dominant name due to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold and Galaxy Z Flip series. Now, as per a report by AppleInsider, Apple's first-ever foldable smartphone is expected to be launched in 2025. The report also revealed its name, which is expected to be "iPhone Fold".

The leaks also suggest that Apple Fold might have an OLED display, and come with a range of new features such as a USB-C port. It is also expected to support MagSafe. Moreover, it may opt for Face ID as well in addition to the Touch ID. The famous tipster Jon Prosser claimed that there are chances of huge similarities between the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip and the upcoming Apple Fold in terms of design. He further said that a foldable device is expected to have a clamshell design which has been echoed in several past leaks. So far, the main focus for the upcoming model is on durability.

Jon Prosser said in a video, “This clamshell foldable iPhone will actually feature a foldable display. I am told it will feature a folding OLED display supplied by Samsung…I am told we will not get both versions of a foldable iPhone. As Samsung has the Galaxy Z Fold and Galaxy Z Flip. No. It will be just this (clamshell) or other (book-style folding), at least at first.”

Several other leaks claim that Apple is also working with LG to create an ultra-thin cover glass that could be used for Apple's next foldable products, including iPhone Fold. Apart from this, Apple is also in talks with suppliers for a 20-inch foldable display. Hence, it makes sense for the arrival of its first foldable iPhone
