A report from Korea attributes this delay to challenges in sourcing high-quality foldable displays that meet Apple’s standards.
Additionally, there’s been a notable shift in Apple’s engineering focus. Teams previously working on the Vision Pro mixed-reality headset are now concentrating on the foldable iPhone project. This signals Apple’s renewed interest in foldable smartphones.
While details about the device are scarce, it’s believed to be either a foldable iPhone or iPad, generating excitement among enthusiasts.
Despite the delay, display suppliers are still on track with the original production schedule, suggesting a targeted launch window within 2027.
As the foldable phone market evolves rapidly, Apple’s ability to deliver an innovative and user-friendly product remains a key point of interest.
