Apple has unveiled its first folding iPhone at a company event, presenting the device as the biggest change to the handset’s design in nearly 20 years.
The launch marks a major moment for the iPhone, which has retained a broadly familiar form since its early generations. A folding model represents a clear departure from the established design associated with Apple’s flagship smartphone.
The move has been described as a costly gamble for Apple’s new boss, placing a high-profile product shift at the centre of the company’s leadership. The iPhone remains one of the most closely watched consumer technology products, making any significant redesign commercially and strategically important.
The supplied details do not include the name of the executive, the location or timing of the event, pricing, technical specifications, or release plans. The latest known development is that Apple has shown off the folding iPhone publicly as its first major design change to the device in almost two decades.
