Apple has changed up its iPhone release schedule according to previous reports: while the iPhone 18<\/a> Pro models will launch as usual, the base model will come out next year. Where does that put the upcoming foldable iPhone<\/a>? According to a new report, right where you\u2019d want it!Foldable iPhone display mass production
A new report<\/a> (translated source) reveals that the foldable iPhone is perfectly on time to launch alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and the iPhone 18 Pro Max<\/a>, as has been the company\u2019s plan. Despite a novel hinge mechanism and new custom components, the Apple<\/a> foldable\u2019s display is poised to enter mass production in July.This is of note because that is the same time period when the iPhone 18 Pro displays will enter mass production as well. Which means that Apple is on track to be able to launch its new foldable flagship alongside the iPhone 18 Pro models, likely in September.
\nCompetition might come out earlier<\/p>\n

Samsung is also working on a Galaxy foldable with similar wide-folding proportions as the foldable iPhone. Tentatively named the Galaxy Z Wide Fold, this phone will likely launch alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 8<\/a> barring any unforeseen circumstances.<\/p>\n

Of course, this means that the Galaxy Z Wide Fold might actually already be in consumers\u2019 hands by the time the displays for the foldable iPhone enter mass production. As such, the industry would have already gotten a pretty good feel for how such foldable phones<\/a> might work, except for anyone who\u2019s played around with the Huawei Pura X.I\u2019d still advise against buying the foldable iPhone<\/a>, at least for this year, so that the platform can mature a little bit more.A complex phone done right?
The foldable iPhone is a pretty complex machine. So much so that Apple is relying solely on Samsung to supply the displays for it, even telling LG Display to take a step back. There is a lot that can go wrong, but the timeliness of the production cycle does inspire some hope at least.<\/p>\n

To be honest, Apple has had years to perfect this phone, so it shouldn\u2019t be that surprising that its production is still on time. But given the company\u2019s recent record of glitchy software updates and hardware failures, I must admit that I was cautious. If Apple ends up delaying the foldable iPhone regardless, I\u2019ll be talking about it over on X<\/a> and Threads<\/a>.<\/p>\n
