A new report claims Apple is working on a next-gen foldable iPhone model even before announcing its first foldable device.
Samsung first launched a foldable phone in 2019. Since then, iOS users have been wondering when Apple would release its first foldable iPhone. As it turns out, this year is set to see the debut of that device. However, a new report says Apple has already laid the foundation for a second-generation foldable phone to release in 2027.

Second Foldable iPhone Reportedly in Apple’s Future Plans
According to a new Bloomberg report, Apple’s first foldable phone will launch this September. Then, a second-generation version, codenamed “v78,” will launch in 2027. The fact that there’s already a second model in the works shows that Apple is serious about its dive into the foldable market. However, this report also notes that Apple is planning something even more special for 2027: devices that celebrate the 20th anniversary of the first iPhone’s release.
The report claims that these anniversary devices will feature a nearly edge-to-edge display, with curved glass that wraps around the sides. These models are code-named “V73” and “V74”. They are planned as successors to the forthcoming iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max models, which will debut later this year.

It’s also noted that those phones and the forthcoming first-generation foldable phone will run on the A20 processor, codenamed “Borneo.” Also, for those who usually get the Baseline iPhone, the standard iPhone 18 model is not planned to release until 2027.
