Recent rumors about the iPhone Fold have not been pleasant. The industry hoped to see the iPhone Fold at the same time as the iPhone 18 series, and while that may be the case for the announcement, the actual shipment might be delayed. Let’s get you up to speed with the recent leaks before sharing the good news.
We heard from a leaker that the iPhone Fold wouldn’t start shipping at the same time as the iPhone 18 Pro series. Yes, Apple might announce them together, but the Pros are expected to begin retail deployment in September. Apple iPhone Fold will take several more weeks to arrive in the market.
One source even reported that Fold could begin shipment in December. These are all the developments we’ve seen in the last couple of weeks. And it’s not looking pretty at the moment. A new report today gave us some good news, though we do need more sources to verify the claim. Here is a closer look at Apple iPhone's latest price in the Pakistani market.
Apple is doing everything in its power to make sure that iPhone Fold’s launch will remain synchronized with the 18 Pro series. The launch would be pretty dry without it, since the vanilla iPhone 18 is already pushed to 2027. Instant Digital had some inside info about this whole situation.
Apparently, trial production was just started in China for the iPhone Fold. Foxconn is Apple’s manufacturing partner for the trial run. This will weed out all the potential issues that might come up during the actual mass production.
They are on track to start iPhone Fold’s mass production in July. That is, if no major issues rear their head during the trial phase. By the way, the leaks suggest 12GB (LPDDR5X) standard RAM could be used across three separate storage options for the iPhone Fold: 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB.
The intended MSRP for the Fold, at least in the home base (USA), is $1,999. But that’s an optimistic figure. A leaker in China reported CNY 15,999 (~$2,300) as the starting price for it, which has the industry worried. We’ll try to keep you in the loop with further developments. Stick around for updates.
