There is good news for those of you who are expecting to take the iPhone as soon as possible. The rumor is that the phone may be launched earlier next year, and according to a new report Apple is now a working prototype of the device.
As scoreApple kicted the prototyping phase of the iPhone fold last month, which is expected to continue by the end of the year. Once completed, the phone should enter the engineering verification test (EVT) phase, which is another important step from mass production.
If all this goes according to the plan, it means that the iPhone can go on sale with the iPhone 18 series in next September next September.
There is no guarantee that things float, but this means that after quite long and disturbing growth, the iPhone fold must now be on track to come in the near future. Sadly, it seems that this cannot be said for Apple’s foldable iPad.
What is happening for foldable iPad?
There was some uncertainty whether the iPhone would come before or after iPad fold – but now it seems that the iPhone is more than a certainty.
According to Digitims report, Apple has decided to prevent progress on the large foldable device for time “. Industry experts claim that this manufacturing is due to a combination of manufacturing difficulties, due to an increase in production costs, and the fact that there is not a complete demand for a large foldable tablet.
The predictions for the tablet have been a bit inconsistent, a 2026 launch has been promised with the choice of Jeff Pu, while Mark Gurman said 2028 soon. But the timeline with this latest report is rapidly unclear.
Again it is understood that the Apple would like to fold the iPhone, before he invests too much in a large version, after all, the foldable iPhone screen will essentially convert the phone into a tablet that will fill the part of the top of the current occupied by the currently non-folding iPad.
At its top, it is not clear how successful the iPhone will be. With reports claiming only 15–20 million units, the foldable has been ordered for the first few years of the lifetime, Apple clearly plays it safely with the iPhone fold-at least before. Which means that stopping development on the second foldable makes it right to understand.
