Samsung and Apple could be planning larger versions of their wide foldable phones for 2027. A new rumor suggests both companies are working on bigger foldable devices. The rumored devices could include the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold9 Plus and iPhone Duo 2 Plus. Both models would compete in the same category if they reach the market next year.
Samsung already offers the Galaxy Z Fold8, while Apple has introduced the iPhone Duo. However, their possible Plus versions could bring larger inner displays. There is also a possible connection between the two developments. Samsung Display could be developing a larger folding panel for Samsung Electronics. The same display technology might also be offered to Apple.
However, the information comes from a single tipster on X. Neither Samsung nor Apple has confirmed these plans. Therefore, the rumored devices should be treated with caution.
Larger displays could also create practical challenges. If both phones retain their current aspect ratios, their cover screens could become much wider. This might make one-handed use difficult for many users. For now, details about the rumored foldables remain limited. More information should emerge as their reported 2027 launch window approaches.
