Apple plans to release three distinct iPhone designs between 2026 and 2028, according to a report from yeux1122's blog on Naver. The company will introduce a book-style foldable iPhone in 2026, featuring a flexible LTPO+ OLED screen that expands to iPad mini dimensions and incorporates under-display camera technology. Samsung Display will assist with production challenges related to the hinge and display panels, though Mizuho analysts note Apple reduced initial panel orders from 13 million to 9 million units.
The tech giant will mark its 20th anniversary in 2027 with a bezel-free device featuring an OLED display wrapped around all four edges and a crater-shaped light diffusion layer for uniform brightness. Apple expects to launch six smartphones in 2026 following reduced production of the iPhone Air due to weak demand. The 2028 lineup will add a clamshell-style vertical folding model with an external notification display and Clear Organic Cathode technology paired with Color Filter-On-Encapsulation for improved color accuracy and screen transparency.
