The foldable iPhone has entered the P1 prototype development stage! It is expected to be released next fall

　　Apple is accelerating the development of foldable iPhones, and this innovative device is expected to be officially launched in the second half of 2026. According to supply chain information, the project has entered the P1 prototype development stage in June, and will undergo P2 and P3 verification in the future, and complete all prototype development processes by the end of 2025.

Tianfeng International analyst Ming-Chi Kuo revealed that Hon Hai Precision (Foxconn) will start mass production in the third or fourth quarter of 2025. Although the core shaft assembly has not yet been finalized, the screen supply has been determined to be exclusively provided by Samsung Display.

　　It is worth noting that Apple has suspended its foldable iPad development plan, mainly due to manufacturing complexity, rising costs and weak market demand, and has instead focused its resources on foldable iPhone projects. The latest news shows that the product is expected to be released simultaneously with the iPhone 18 series in the fall of 2026, providing users with a new mobile phone experience in folding screen form.
