A produção em massa de um iPhone dobrável deve ter início no quarto trimestre de 2026, e o smartphone deve chegar às lojas com um preço entre US$ 2 mil e US$ 2,5 mil, prevê o renomado analista de tecnologia Ming-Chi Ku.
Para ele, o novo iPhone será “um verdadeiro telefone movido a IA”, com uma tela grande para melhorar a experiência com a tecnologia. O dispositivo irá viabilizar cenários como conversas com chatbots sobre planos para viagens enquanto permite visualizar um mapa ao mesmo tempo.
Segundo a analista, as especificações finais serão definidas no segundo trimestre de 2025 e o projeto terá início no terceiro trimestre do mesmo ano. As estimativas de envios dos smartphones ficam entre 3 e 5 milhões de unidades para 2026. Mas a maior popularização do dispositivo dobrável deve ocorrer em sua segunda geração, com 20 milhões de unidades enviadas em 2027.
O Hardware
O iPhone dobrável terá um design em forma de livro, com tela interna de cerca de 7,8 polegadas e tela externa de 5,5 polegadas. O botão de Touch ID voltará a ficar na lateral do dispositivo, enquanto o Face ID pode ficar ausente por restrições no espaço interno. Quando dobrado, o celular terá 9,5 milímetros de espessura e entre 4,5 e 4,8 milímetros se não estiver dobrado.
Competição pelo ramo de celulares dobráveis
O ramo dos celulares dobráveis já atraem gigantes, como Samsung e Huawei. A última lançou o primeiro smartphone tri-dobrável do mundo na China em setembro de 2024 por R$ 15 mil. Já o primeiro celular dobrável do mundo, o Galaxy Fold, chegou ao Brasil em 2020 por R$ 13 mil. Mas, segundo especialistas, a Apple ainda não entrou no ramo por priorizar padrões mais altos de qualidade.
No ano passado, o site de notícias sobre tecnologia The Verge reportou que a fragilidade do design dos smartphones e o desejo da Apple de criar um dispositivo dobrável com display interno estavam emperrado o trabalho dos engenheiros.
