Did you know that? Apple was the second most favorite foldable brand in the United States in 2023? While the Cuperno -based technology giant is rarely prepared to settle in second place, especially in the local smart phone market, the sudden results of the anti -survey survey of this survey were the highest possible forms of compliments for iPhone.
It is clear that this is not IPhone foldable It was available anywhere in the world two years ago, proposing many modern reports We may have to wait another year for at least another year until the Samsung Galaxy Z line has the first iOS competitor. Why do I talk about a random survey in April 2023 in April 2025? Because somehow, I feel that this is somewhat confused data is related today. Let me explain.
We do not need another hero
… or if we do, Apple is it not. Look, I understand that the folding market is in trouble, and has shown many sales and prediction reports during the past year or so. During the last three months of 2024, for example, enormous There seem to be 24 percent of the units that were shipped all over the world compared to Q4 2023.
Worse, the market sector is once It is possible that you will contract for the first time in history in 2025 after disappointment with its small growth last year. But although it is easy to blame these problems for the absence of Apple from the Huawei scene and it is expected that everything is pink again when the company is rising. IPhone foldable The voltage becomes something, I am not sure if this is the case. In fact, I am almost sure that this will not happen next year.

With everything that is happening in the world at the present time, Apple is cautious in expanding the scope of its portfolios outside its comfort zone, I am not personally convinced that “IPhone fold“It will become a commercial fact in 2026 to start. It is clear that there are more urgent issues to come to it, like Maintaining “traditional” iPhone prices, and finding ways to distinguish iPhone 17 Air from the competition, and improve iPhone 18 families without imposing shipping.
But here I tell you that this is completely good, because we already have a lot of “heroes” and potential rescuers who sell a lot of solid folding devices, is unlikely to compete with Apple by value for your money anytime soon anyway. What the truly folding market needs More focus on innovation from Samsung, better distribution around the world for Huawei, Better Ads for The wonderful Motorola of Razr PowerHouses, lowering prices from everyone.
Will any of this Apple expel one of the best folding brand mode for many people in the United States (most likely, many other countries such as the United States)? Perhaps not, but you can definitely convince an explicit number of Android loyalists to give folds from the three brands mentioned above (, Google, Oppo, and VIVO) at a last chance.
We are not Want What Apple is doing
Have you ever looked at Galaxy Z Fold 6 or Pixel 9 Pro Fold and wish something similar but more expensive? a lot More expensive? no? Then the first generation IPhone fold It may not be the right device for you, just like Vision Pro was not suitable for many people. Or even AirPods as a maximum. Or 2018 homepod.
Let’s be honest, Apple has not reached a tour of the house in its first attempt … Anything for a long time, and at least now, there is not much 2000 dollars or even IPhone folding.

Even if it was said IPhone foldable In early 2026 (which is unlikely) would have been leveled with abundant numbers for the entire world (also unlikely) with these very advanced and internal screens that will be felt by $ 2,000 (if you justify).
This type of purchase simply is not logical for 99.99 percent of the world, and if the foldable market has already “saved”, it needs to target only more than 0.01 percent. Do not understand me wrong, I am excited like the next man Sees the first IPhone foldable At work (from a distance), but it is important to be realistic and to understand that Apple has a long way until it reaches the importance of the market in this particular sector.
That is if Company Professional visionAirPods max, and even HomePOD suggests.
