According to Korean media reports, Apple’s first foldable screen iPhone, originally scheduled to be released in the fourth quarter of 2026, has been postponed to the first quarter of 2027 due to technical difficulties.
Alpha Biz pointed out that Apple encountered difficulties in finding components such as folding screens that met its high standards, so it had to adjust its release plan. Currently, Apple is still in the early stages of developing two foldable smartphones, with two prototypes designed to resemble a clamshell folding sideways.
There are reports that the first folding screen iPhone will be equipped with a 6-inch external display and an 8-inch main display. In addition, Korean media The Elec also reported last month that Apple is considering launching another 7-8-inch folding screen device, which may replace the current 8.3-inch iPad mini.
However, despite continued rumors about Apple’s foldable phone, analysts have expressed doubts about the possibility of its near-term launch. They believe that Apple is worried that existing folding screen technology is not mature enough to realize the next generation of application scenarios envisioned by its engineers and designers. Therefore, although the foldable screen mobile phone market is gradually emerging, Apple seems to be still waiting cautiously.
