Apple’s first foldable iPhone is expected to debut in September alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max, according to a new report from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. The news follows a report from Nikkei Asia On Tuesday, it sparked fears that the launch of the company’s foldable iPhone could be delayed due to difficulties encountered during the phone’s technical testing phase.
Gurman reports that while the complexity of the device may limit the initial offering, Apple is still aiming to launch the phone around the same time or shortly after the non-foldable models.
Since the release is still six months away, the timeline is not final, the report said.
The launch of a foldable iPhone will be a major breakthrough for Apple, as it will allow the tech giant to better compete with foldable models from Samsung and China-based smartphone makers, which have long offered foldable phones.
Apple’s device reportedly has some advantages over current foldable phones, as the tech giant reportedly addresses issues with screen quality and overall durability, while also making the fold less visible when the device is unfolded.
