Apple’s new line of gadgets may be further than what most fans expect, with new reports revealing that the company is looking at the likelihood of releasing a folding iPhone. In addition, it is also looking into releasing smart glasses and even a home robot. On Sunday, Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman wrote in the “Power On” newsletter that Apple is working on four big items.These include a folding iPhone, an ultra‐thin phone shaped like a curved sheet of glass with no visible holes, lightweight smart glasses, and a home robot that mounts an iPad‐style screen on a mechanical arm. He claimed that 2027, the 20th anniversary of the iPhone, could be the release year. Earlier notes from the same reporter placed both the robot and the foldable phone in 2026.Apple observers predict a folding iPhone release in 2026According to Gizmodo, each new message seems to nudge the horizon forward, reminding readers that Apple and the leaks surrounding it often work on sliding time frames. On Monday, Gurman defended his timing on X. Responding to a MacRumors headline, he wrote, “This idea I’ve changed timelines is nonsense, but otherwise it adds some nice tension and inspiration for comments. It’s always been 2026.” In another post, he mentioned that he should have been clearer about when the device might appear.The Information cited unnamed sources who expect that the release would happen in 2026, while supply‐chain analyst Ming‐Chi Kuo gave the same date and projected a second‐generation model in 2027. None of these schedules is locked in; Apple frequently adjusts projects as parts, prices, and internal targets change. Apple is known for taking its time with new product categories. Critics say that caution has created a lineup that changes only in small steps.Aside from its $600 iPhone 16e, the company released the $3,500 VisionPro mixed reality headset, making it the latest major release. It offers sharp displays and a fresh operating system, but it has been criticized for its weight and cost. Gurman has said that VisionOS 3, expected later this year, will bring extra features meant to improve comfort and usefulness. Looking a bit nearer, 2025 could see a very thin iPhone designed to challenge Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge, and a new MacBook that finally moves away from the look introduced in 2021. More playful ideas, such as a desk lamp robot that acts like a Pixar character, will be released at least after two years.The post Apple is expected to drop a folding iPhone in 2026 first appeared on Coinfea.
