苹果的可折叠iPhone传闻将于2026年上市——迟到了吗?

币界网报道:

据The Information的独家报道,苹果正在开发一款可折叠的iPhone,最早可能在2026年首次亮相。据称,该设备的翻盖设计让人联想到三星的Galaxy Z Flip系列,而不是其他型号中看到的书本式折叠。

据报道,苹果公司已与亚洲供应商接洽,为内部代号为“V68”的折叠设备生产组件。

虽然苹果公司对其未来计划的保密性是出了名的,但这次更新为苹果公司长期以来对可折叠技术的探索揭开了新的一页。当然,尽管谣言和内部消息不断,但并不能保证一个被广泛报道的正在开发的产品会真正实现。一个恰当的例子?这个从未宣布但已取消的苹果汽车项目。

拥挤的市场

苹果对新技术的态度历来是经过深思熟虑的,通常在引入功能之前等待市场验证。例如,它推迟了iPhone Max系列采用更大屏幕的时间,几年前,三星的Note系列证明了消费者对大尺寸智能手机的需求。苹果公司今年刚刚为iOS推出了自定义主屏幕主题,尽管多年来它一直是安卓系统甚至越狱iPhone的一项功能。

现在,在世界上第一款大规模生产的可折叠手机Royole Flexpai发布五年后,市场上充斥着来自大型科技公司的可折叠产品。

三星已经在销售第六代Galaxy Fold和Galaxy Flip智能手机,摩托罗拉Razr已经经历了四代的发展,华为提供了MateX和Pocket 2系列可折叠智能手机,Oppo Find N可折叠手机也在亚洲市场引起轰动。

还有来自谷歌、OnePlus、荣耀、Vivo和中兴的可折叠设备。

苹果探索

未来可折叠iPhone的故事经历了相当多的曲折。

这家总部位于库比蒂诺的公司对柔性显示屏的兴趣至少可以追溯到2016年,当时早期的传言表明,制造商LG将在2018年之前大规模生产智能手机的可折叠屏幕。虽然这一特定预测没有实现,但它标志着人们开始对苹果在该领域的计划进行持续猜测。

2020年,有报道称,两辆原型车在富士康深圳工厂通过了内部耐久性测试。据称,一种设计采用了两个由铰链连接的独立显示器,而另一种设计则采用了一个可折叠的屏幕。同样,这些报告并没有导致产品发布。

更具体地说,苹果的专利申请为该公司探索可折叠技术提供了一些见解。2016年的一项专利描述了一种使用柔性OLED显示器和铰接金属支撑结构水平折叠的智能手机。

随后的专利解决了与可折叠设备相关的潜在挑战。2019年的一份文件详细介绍了一种内置加热元件,以防止显示器在低温下出现故障,而2020年的一项专利概述了一种铰链机制,旨在保护屏幕在折叠时不会起皱或损坏。

据The Information报道,该公司的完美主义倾向表现在努力消除困扰当前可折叠设备的可见折痕。这一挑战可能是延长开发时间的一个关键因素,因为苹果可能旨在提供一种在耐用性和美学方面超越现有产品的产品。

何时以及如何?

行业分析师对苹果首款可折叠设备的时间表做出了不同的预测。在2026年发布《信息报》之前,著名的苹果分析师和泄密者郭明池曾建议在2025年发布。

然而,最近的谣言将这一估计推到了2027年,一些报道甚至暗示了取消的可能性。

据9to5Mac看到的海通国际证券分析师Jeff Pu的一份投资者报告显示,分析师Jeff濮提出了一个更乐观的时间表,暗示大规模生产可能会在2026年底开始。

然而,苹果首次涉足可折叠技术可能不一定是iPhone。韩国科技网站The Elec的一份报告称,该公司自2022年以来一直在研发一款类似iPad的可折叠设备,这可能是在将其应用于旗舰产品线之前测试和改进该技术的一种方式。同样,科技研究公司Omdia的一份报告称,我们应该期待在2027年的某个时候看到可折叠的iPad。

联想的可折叠ThinkPad X1 Fold或华硕Zenbook 17 Fold可能是比较潜在可折叠iPad的类似设备。

然而,同样,带有折叠屏幕的苹果设备也不是一件确定的事情。这些报道仍然是谣言,应该持怀疑态度。

How Blockchain Fills the Identity, Payment, and Trust Gaps for AI Agents?

AI Agents are rapidly evolving into autonomous economic participants, but they face critical gaps in identity, payment, and trust infrastructure. They currently lack standardized ways to prove who they are, what they are authorized to do, and how they should be compensated across different environments. Blockchain technology is emerging as a solution to these challenges by providing a neutral coordination layer. Public ledgers offer auditable credentials, wallets enable portable identities, and stablecoins serve as a programmable settlement layer. A key bottleneck is the absence of a universal identity standard for non-human entities—akin to "Know Your Agent" (KYA)—which would allow Agents to operate with verifiable, cryptographically signed credentials. Without this, Agents remain fragmented and face barriers to interoperability. Additionally, as AI systems take on governance roles, there is a risk that centralized control over models could undermine decentralized governance in practice. Cryptographic guarantees on training data, prompts, and behavior logs are essential to ensure Agents act in users' interests. Stablecoins and crypto-native payment rails are becoming the default for Agent-to-Agent commerce, enabling seamless, low-cost transactions for AI-native services. These systems support permissionless, programmable payments without traditional merchant onboarding. Finally, as AI scales, human oversight becomes impractical. Trust must be built into system architecture through verifiable provenance, on-chain attestations, and decentralized identity systems. The future of Agent economies depends on cryptographically enforced accountability, allowing users to delegate tasks with clearly defined constraints and transparent operation logs.

Six Years Since DeFi Summer, How Will the Decentralized Financial Revolution Continue?

In 2026, the DeFi sector faces a severe trust crisis following a series of high-profile security breaches, including a $292 million theft from KelpDAO’s rsETH, a $2.85 million exploit at Drift Protocol due to permission vulnerabilities, and a $14.9 million lending failure at Venus Protocol. These incidents triggered a withdrawal of approximately $10 billion from DeFi over a single weekend, highlighting systemic risks beyond smart contract flaws—such as governance, cross-chain complexity, and operational weaknesses. Despite these challenges, on-chain finance continues to grow, with capital shifting toward safer, regulated products. Stablecoins like USDT ($185B) and USDC ($78B) have reached a combined market cap of $263 billion, while tokenized U.S. Treasuries surged to $10.93 billion. Visa’s growing USDC settlement volume, now annualized at $3.5 billion, signals increasing institutional adoption of compliant blockchain-based financial infrastructure. The competition for the future of on-chain finance is intensifying. While native DeFi struggles with trust and capital outflows, regulated products—stablecoins, tokenized assets, and ETFs—are gaining dominance by offering programmable, 24/7 settlement without high DeFi risks. Over 80 crypto projects shut down in Q1 2026, reflecting dwindling patience for speculative ventures. The core challenge for open DeFi is to rebuild trust and demonstrate irreplaceable value—or risk ceding its role as the primary entry point to on-chain finance.
