 Apple’s Foldable iPhone Delayed Until Late 2026

Apple fans will have to wait a little longer. According to new reports, the highly anticipated foldable iPhone has been delayed until the second half of 2026. The tech giant is reportedly taking a cautious approach, focusing on quality, durability, and exclusive design before entering the foldable market.

Sources suggest Apple will limit the initial production to just 10–15 million units, targeting only select markets during launch. The foldable iPhone is expected to debut with a premium price range of $2,000 to $2,400.


What We Know So Far:

  • Prototype displays are reportedly being tested by Apple’s display partners

  • Engineering challenges around hinge durability and crease reduction are key causes of delay

  •  Apple is also developing iPad-style multitasking features for the foldable UI

  •  Battery and screen life are being optimized for longevity and performance


 Industry Context:

While Apple plays the long game, Samsung continues to lead the foldable segment with the launch of its Galaxy Z Fold7 and Galaxy Z Flip7 on July 7, 2025. These devices feature upgraded hinges, water resistance, and AI enhancements for photography and productivity.

Analysts believe Apple’s entry in 2026 will target ultra-premium users, possibly integrating Apple Silicon, VisionOS elements, and exclusive iOS foldable features.


 Final Word

The foldable iPhone dream is real—but not coming this year. Apple’s methodical approach may mean a more polished product, but it gives rivals like Samsung, Honor, and Google more time to grow market share.
