Apple's Foldable iPhone Launch Pushed to 2027 Amid Technical Challenges

Engineers from Vision Pro reassigned to focus on the development of the highly anticipated foldable iPhone.

Apple's foldable iPhone launch has been delayed until the first quarter of 2027 due to technical challenges, including the need for better foldable display technology.
Engineers from the Vision Pro project have been reassigned to work on the foldable iPhone, indicating a significant shift in focus towards this new device.
Despite the delay, major component manufacturers are expected to proceed according to the original schedule, suggesting that Apple is still committed to releasing a foldable iPhone.
Rumors suggest that Apple's foldable iPhone could feature a 6-inch external display and an 8-inch internal display, but details remain scarce.
The foldable iPhone project is at risk of being canceled if the technology does not meet Apple's high quality standards, similar to previous projects like the Apple Car and microLED projects.
