MacRumors • • technology
Key Points:
- Apple's foldable iPhone faces ongoing production challenges, leaving its exact launch date uncertain despite Foxconn's efforts on final mass-production adjustments.
- Foxconn is leading the device's production due to its expertise in precision structural components and large-scale manufacturing, and is considered the only partner likely to meet production targets.
- Earlier reports suggested mass production had started with no delays, but recent information indicates a potential one to two-month delay caused by engineering validation, particularly hinge structure and display durability tests.
- The foldable iPhone is still expected to be unveiled alongside the iPhone 18 Pro models in September, featuring a book-style design, a 7.7 to 7.8-inch inner display, a 5.5-inch cover screen, about 4.5mm thickness, and a starting price above $2,000.
