AppleInsider reports Apple could delay iPhone Fold shipping until late 2026
AppleInsider says the iPhone Fold may be revealed alongside the iPhone 18 Pro this September, but significant supply chain volume might not be ready until the following months.
Reporter Ming-Chi Kuo suggests a production schedule similar to the 2017 iPhone X, where the foldables are showcased in autumn but face limited initial inventory.
If these yields remain low, enthusiasts may face significant shipping delays or extreme scarcity during the first year of Apple's foldable debut.
The report cites specific component volume estimates from a well-known industry analyst.
