New information has emerged about a smaller version on the way, a clamshell device that folds vertically, forms a square shape, and, if rumors are to be believed, may simply be dubbed the \u201ciPhone Flip.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"more-234000\"\/><br \/><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"China Fold iphone\ud83d\ude02 #iphone #apple #viral\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CIbwPxNVtJ0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>\nMark Gurman provided the details in his current Power On newsletter for Bloomberg. Apple\u2019s developers appear to be considering this clamshell form as a potential follow-up to the large folding one. The clamshell shape is clearly inspired by phones such as Samsung\u2019s Galaxy Z Flip and Motorola RAZR, which pioneered the flip design. When closed, it\u2019s small enough to fit neatly into a pocket or purse, but when opened, it\u2019s a full-sized screen for getting on with your day.<\/p>\n<p>            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aawp-product__image\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/41Vme055CnL._SL160_.jpg\" alt=\"Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 Cell Phone, 512GB AI Smartphone, Unlocked Android, AI Photo Edits, Large Screen,...\"\/><\/p>\n<p>            Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 Cell Phone, 512GB AI Smartphone, Unlocked Android, AI Photo Edits, Large Screen,&#8230;        <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>BIGGER, YET SLIMMER THAN EVER: Who would\u2019ve guessed that wider could also be lighter?

There is no set release date in sight, and who knows, the whole idea could be scrapped entirely. Gurman says the company sees its larger foldable as the crucial test. Success with that one (which is expected to launch alongside the iPhone 18 in September 2026) would ideally increase excitement&#8230;<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.techeblog.com\/iphone-flip-foldable-clamshell-phone-leak\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple&#8217;s Compact Foldable Future Might Include the iPhone Flip https:\/\/www.techeblog.com\/iphone-flip-foldable-clamshell-phone-leak\/ Publish Date: 2026-02-02 11:31:00 Source&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":209165,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/images.techeblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/02005947\/iphone-flip-foldable-clamshell-phone-leak.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[120],"tags":[81],"class_list":["post-209164","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-iphone","tag-iphone-18"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/209164"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=209164"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/209164\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":209166,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/209164\/revisions\/209166"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/209165"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=209164"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=209164"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=209164"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
