Apple Foldable iPhone May Lift Global Foldable Shipments

The Story in Brief

Apple is expected to launch its first foldable iPhone this year, possibly alongside the iPhone 18 Pro models. The company has not confirmed the device or its specifications. An industry report cited by Gadgets360 forecasts that global foldable smartphone shipments could rise by about 20 per cent as Apple enters the market and interest in book-style foldables grows.

The report expects Samsung to remain the market leader despite Apple’s entry. The forecast is based on expected consumer adoption, not confirmed sales. Its impact will depend on pricing, availability and customer response.

The Indian Opinion

For Indian buyers, the forecast suggests wider choice but does not confirm when or at what price the phone may arrive. Claims that Apple will quickly dominate would be premature, since the device remains unannounced and the estimate is only a projection. Samsung’s expected leadership provides useful balance. Official details and sales data will offer a clearer picture.
