Apple’s foldable iPhone plans face new delays, forced to suspend development

Apple is one of the few major companies yet to enter the foldable market, but expectations are high for the company, especially with reports that a foldable iPhone is in the pipeline. However, it now looks like Apple may have to put its plans to develop a foldable device on hold, with reports suggesting that the company is now revising its timeline for launching the product rather than quickly bringing it to consumers.

So what forced Apple to delay its launch plans? Is this information trustworthy? Well, any news about Apple piques interest, and the addition of a foldable will attract even more eyeballs. But Apple hasn’t officially talked about a foldable product, which means actual plans may be a while away.

The source said Apple has purchased foldable devices from other brands and used their designs and engineering as references to build its own. For a brand like Apple, this scenario is a bit unbelievable, but we’re purely talking about the details pointed out in the report.

But Apple seems to be having trouble adjusting the foldable device’s screen to its standards and quality, which is sure to push back the product’s release schedule. After all, a foldable device is nothing without a screen. And knowing Apple’s standards, the company would be better off launching the best version available rather than launching a half-baked product.

Companies like Samsung, OnePlus, Oppo and even Huawei have shown us how the foldable market is evolving, but suspiciously Apple is probably the most anticipated brand in this segment and everyone is waiting to see what the company has to offer What.

There’s another confusion over which foldable form factor Apple will launch first, whether it’s a full-fledged folding iPhone or a clamshell iPhone. Or could we consider the foldable iPad to be the company’s first product.

There’s a lot to explain here, but the company seems to be investing heavily in the mixed reality space, and the Vision Pro is finally hitting the market, with people already buying the device and some even returning the $3,499 headset.
