- A new report suggests that Apple has been developing prototypes of at least two clamshell foldable iPhones.

Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip series may not be packing the absolute top-tier specifications, but it has been quite popular with customers, more so than the Galaxy Z Fold series that enthusiasts prefer. This success has definitely not gone unnoticed by competitors, as we have seen many Android competitors come out with their own versions of clamshell foldable. The most high-profile entrant to this list might just be Apple, as a report now claims that Apple is developing a foldable clamshell iPhone.
According to a new report from The Information, Apple is building prototypes of at least two iPhones that fold like a clamshell, much like the Galaxy Z Flip. The foldable iPhones are said to be in early development and aren’t on the company’s mass production plans for this year or the next. If the prototypes don’t meet Apple’s expectations, then the product can get canceled too.
