Apple is reportedly planning to launch three smartphones over the next three years, and these devices will be unique in their own right.
A report from an unnamed “trend and parts research company,” cited by tipster Lanzuk (@yeux1122) on a Naver blog (in Korean), suggests Apple will unveil a new iPhone with a unique form factor annually from 2026 to 2028. These include a foldable iPhone in 2026, a bezel-less iPhone in 2027, and a flip phone in 2028.
Apple iPhone Fold In 2026
In September 2026, Apple is expected to debut its first foldable device, possibly named the iPhone Fold, featuring a minimal-crease LTPO+ flexible OLED display that expands to roughly the size of an iPad Mini. The iPhone Fold will feature a book-style folding mechanism and expected to adopt a sleek titanium-aluminum frame, drawing inspiration from the iPhone Air.
The iPhone Fold is tipped to get the new A20 Pro chip, measure 4.5 mm in thickness in its unfolded state, with a 7.8-inch main display, 5.5-inch outer display, four camera sensors (two rear 48MP sensors, one front-facing camera when folded, and one front camera when unfolded), and Touch ID instead of Face ID.
Bezel-Less iPhone 20 In 2027
In 2027, the iPhone 20 series is expected to launch, with Apple omitting the iPhone 19 nomenclature altogether. The iPhone 20 is tipped to feature a bezel-less OLED display, potentially replacing the Dynamic Island with a hole-punch cutout or under-display selfie camera.
The iPhone 20 is expected to offer a more immersive experience to the user with its bezel-free and likely entirely glass display. According to the tipster, Apple will also address brightness uniformity issues with the iPhone 20.
iPhone Flip In 2028
In 2028, a clamshell-style foldable — dubbed the iPhone Flip — is anticipated from the Apple stable, as per the tipster. The iPhone Flip, on the lines of other flip phones, will have a small external display that could offer notifications, basic information, and even shortcuts to Apple Intelligence features.
