Analyst Jeff Pu recently said that Apple will launch a foldable screen product in 2026, which is consistent with other rumors about the release timeline of the iPhone Fold. Jeff Pu also said that the iPhone Fold is not alone, and when it is released, a foldable screen tablet will be launched simultaneously.

Jeff Pu claimed that Apple will launch a foldable screen product line in the second half of 2026. The foldable screen device was originally planned to be launched earlier, but the durability problem of the foldable screen caused the development progress to be delayed, which ultimately affected the release time of the new product. Earlier this year, there were reports that Apple tested foldable screen panels from Samsung and LG, but according to Apple's standards, the samples of the two companies broke down in just a few days, which temporarily stopped the development of foldable screen devices.

Folding screen mobile phones have now gained recognition from consumers in the high-end market. As the shipments of folding screen models continue to increase, Apple also has to deal with the challenge of folding screens.

In addition to mobile phones, Apple will also launch a foldable iPad tablet, which is almost the same as the iPhone Fold, but with a larger overall size to enhance the experience through a larger screen. The size of the foldable iPad tablet may be 7 inches or 8 inches, which can be used as a substitute for the iPad mini. There are also signs that a 20-inch large-size foldable device is also under development.

Jeff Pu also mentioned the iPhone 17 Slim, a new model that will replace the Plus model. The phone will adopt a slimmer design and will be the first to be equipped with Apple's self-developed 5G baseband chip.
