We may not have a concrete release date for the first foldable iPhonebut Apple may already be eyeing a smaller device to follow it. According to BloombergMark Gurman, Apple is exploring a “square, clamshell-style foldable phone,” with the caveat that this potential device is “far from guaranteed to reach the market” and is only “considered” now.

If it eventually leads to a smaller foldable iPhone, that means Apple believes it can compete against existing options on the market, including Samsung’s latest. Galaxy Z Flip 7 and changed Motorola The Razr is folded. Gurman’s report also hinted that Apple might be too optimistic about the success of its first foldable iPhonewhich is rumored to be released later this year, and wants to have follow-up plans ready to take advantage of the potential demand that has been generated.

This is not the first time we have heard about a clamshell foldable iPhonesince the previous report from The Information reveals that Apple is making prototypes of this form factor. On the other end of the spectrum, Gurman’s Power On The newsletter mentions that Apple is considering a larger foldable that opens like a book. In the past, Gurman said Apple considered a foldable more similar in size to an iPad. However, the company is running into issues developing such a large device and may delay a potential launch until 2029, according to Gurman.
