Overview
- Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman said Thursday the iPhone Fold will ship later than the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max.
- Multiple reports point to a two‑phase plan with Pro models in September 2026 and the standard iPhone 18 and 18e slipping to early 2027.
- Apple is still expected to unveil the foldable alongside the Pro phones in September, with deliveries following weeks or months later due to the complexity of foldable panels.
- A new leak on Friday indicated a smaller Dynamic Island across the iPhone 18 lineup, with fully under‑display sensors still in testing for future models.
- For buyers, early expectations include A20‑series chips on a 2‑nanometre process in the Pro phones and an estimated iPhone Fold price near $2,000 that remains unconfirmed.
