Apple and Huawei Prepare September Launches for New Foldable SmartphonesPreviousNext

Apple and Huawei are set to launch new foldable smartphones in September, marking a competitive phase in the premium foldable market. Huawei has begun pre-orders in China for its Mate XT 2, featuring advanced specs and multiple configurations. Apple plans to debut its first foldable iPhone, possibly named iPhone Ultra, with a high price point and costly screen repairs. Despite improvements in foldable technology, these devices still hold a small share of the global smartphone market, with Samsung and Motorola leading in various regions.
