iPhone Flip on the Horizon? Apple Reportedly Planning Clamshell Foldable to Rival Galaxy Z Flip

• Apple is reportedly considering a smaller, clamshell-style foldable iPhone, similar to Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip series, after an initial notebook-style foldable.

• The company aims to capitalize on demand for foldable devices, potentially following a larger, book-style foldable iPhone Fold.
• The first iPhone Fold is rumored to launch in September with iPhone 18 Pro models, featuring a 5.5-inch external and 7.6-7.8-inch internal display.
• Apple is focusing on an almost invisible crease using Samsung OLED panels, a liquid metal hinge, and metal support, with dual 48MP cameras and Touch ID.
