Analyst Urges iOS 27 Multitasking for 6.9-Inch Foldable iPhone as WWDC Nears

Summary
WWDC next week could preview iOS 27 features that signal Apple’s foldable iPhone plans, with an analyst arguing the software needs stronger multitasking to justify a larger display.
Bloomberg has reported Apple’s foldable would use an iPad-like interface when opened, potentially adding side-by-side apps and app sidebars—capabilities iPhones still lack.
Android foldables already go further: Oppo’s latest Find N6 can run up to four resizable apps, while Samsung’s foldables use a sidebar for quick tools and contextual AI actions.
The analyst also wants Honor-style extended folders that keep up to five apps one tap away, saying those additions would better use the 6.9-inch Pro Max-sized canvas and any future foldable screen.
