From PC Mag: In response to Nikkei Asia reports about a foldable iPhone delay, Bloomberg now reports that the phone is "on track to arrive during the company’s normal iPhone launch period later this year." Mark Gurman acknowledges that the "complexity" of the new device might result in limited supply for a few weeks, but says it should go on sale around the same time as the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max in September.
Apple’s highly anticipated foldable iPhone may not arrive in 2026 amid testing setbacks, according to Nikkei Asia.
Apple has been rumored to be working on a foldable iPhone for years. Multiple leaks suggest a debut alongside the iPhone 18 Pro models this fall, though Bloomberg's Mark Gurman says it might happen afterward in a separate launch, possibly early 2027. A Barclays analyst tips a December launch, MacRumors notes.
The latest Nikkei report brings more bad news for those eagerly awaiting the phone. Apple expected a few issues to surface during the test production phase, but it reportedly discovered far more complex engineering problems than anticipated. As a result, the phone’s mass-production timeline could delay the first shipment by several months, sources tell Nikkei.
