It seems like we could get bigger wide foldables from both Samsung and Apple. A new rumor from a tipster, Anthony, aka TheGalox, says as much. He went to X to share the news.
Both Samsung & Apple could deliver bigger wide foldables in 2027
He simply stated that Samsung is not the only company making a bigger wide foldable for 2027; Apple is doing it too. He said that a “bigger iPhone Duo 2 Plus” model is in development. He also added that the phone could compete directly with the Galaxy Z Fold 9 Plus.
While the tipster mentioned this iPhone Duo model by name, that’s probably not the name Apple will go for. So think of the iPhone Duo 2 Plus name as a placeholder, nothing more than that. We believe he picked this name due to its similarity with Samsung’s naming scheme.
Take this information with a grain of salt at this point in time. This is the first time we’re hearing about this, and it seems unexpected for Apple. Who knows, it could happen, though. We’ll have to wait for more information.
As for Samsung, a rumor from late October suggested that the Galaxy Z Fold 9 will be getting a bigger or cheaper sibling. Well, the Galaxy Z Fold 9 Plus could be its name, and it could simply be a bigger version of the Galaxy Z Fold 9.
Samsung’s offering is probably coming in Q3
If we had to guess, we’d say that the phone will launch alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 9. That means that it could arrive in July 2027, if Samsung ends up sticking to its release cycle. Either way, the Galaxy Z Fold 9 will arrive in Q3.
As a reminder, Samsung is allegedly also planning to announce its first rollable aka extendable aka slideable, smartphone in 2027. That device, if it arrives, will be the first commercially available rollable smartphone out there.
