Bloomberg's Mark Gurman predicts the iPhone Duo is just the start, with most iPhones becoming foldable within a decade. He argues falling manufacturing costs could make even budget devices like the iPhone SE foldable.

Prior to the iPhone Duo launch, foldables represented just 2% of the global smartphone market. Counterpoint Research predicts foldable growth of 24% this year and 37% next year, with Apple expected to capture 40% market share, becoming the leading player.

Gurman forecasts foldables will make up the majority of new phone sales within a decade, offering larger displays and laptop/tablet replacement capabilities. Apple may expand foldables across its price range, including potential iPhone Duo Max and iPhone SE variants.

A decade is long in tech, making this scenario plausible as costs decrease. Next steps include embedding Face ID into foldable devices without increasing thickness.
