Apple will stagger iPhone releases to make way for its first foldable —rumor

Rumor has it that Apple plans to shake up its iPhone release next year to make way for its first foldable smartphone. The report suggests that the iPhone 18 Pro and upcoming iPhone Air models will come out together, while the vanilla iPhone 18 and the possible successor to the iPhone 16E will be pushed to spring (around March-May) the year after. Meanwhile, the foldable is expected to come out in 2026, but which part of the year is unknown. Bottom line is, Apple needs to reschedule their smartphone releases now that new models are coming. Six iPhones launching all at the same time would be too much, not just for Apple, but also for the market. Going back to the foldable, the report suggests that Apple is going with a book-style form factor instead of the flip style. It is expected to have a compact 5.7-inch cover screen and a large 8-inch foldable panel. It will continue to rely on FaceID and will only be about 4.8mm thick.

Samsung, Apple, Xiaomi dominate global smartphone market for Q1 2025

Canalys Research has released its report for the Q1 2025 global smartphone shipments. We’re seeing familiar smartphone brands on the top list. However, the global shipments continue to experience a slump as they only shipped 296.9 million units in the first quarter of 2025, which is only 0.2% higher than the same quarter last year. Countries like the United States and Mainland China actually saw a big increase, but were offset by Europe, the Middle East, and India suffering declines. The spike in the United States is attributed to President Donald Trump’s controversial new tariff measure. Apple stockpiled units before the tariffs due to the fear of higher prices. Now, let’s take a look at the top players for Q1 2025. Samsung is still at the top spot with a 20% market share (60.5 million units), followed closely by iPhone-maker Apple with 19% (55 million). Chinese tech giant took the third spot with a 6% difference at 14% (41.8 million). vivo (22.9 million) and OPPO (22.7 m...
