Apple unveils foldable iPhone in biggest redesign since 2007

irishtimes.com

Apple is set to unveil its most significant iPhone redesign since 2007, featuring a highly anticipated foldable phone, at its annual product launch event. This marks the first major launch under new chief executive John Ternus, who succeeded Tim Cook earlier this month. The foldable iPhone, rumored to cost over $2,000, enters a growing but niche market that saw 25 million units shipped in 2025, a fraction of the overall smartphone market. Apple's entry is expected to boost the category's acceptance and momentum, despite high prices and evolving use cases. The event may also introduce a new Apple Watch, camera-enabled AirPods, and the full rollout of iOS27 with AI-enhanced Siri, though EU availability awaits regulatory discussions. Apple could split the launch, debuting iPhone 18 Pro models now and the base model later.
