Apple is preparing to produce the iPhone Fold.

Apple is getting closer to the launch date of its foldable iPhone, tentatively called the iPhone Fold, after making significant progress in its development.

After finalizing the crease-free display design earlier this year, Apple has completed the vapor chamber cooling system, a crucial element in the development of the iPhone Fold.

According to PhoneArena , the display is the main technical hurdle Apple must overcome on the iPhone Fold. Over the past two years, the company has rejected numerous hinge and panel designs to focus on a crease-free solution – a problem that Android phones have improved upon but haven't fully solved.

The latest reports indicate that Apple has finalized the display design and moved to the pre-production phase, requiring only a few more adjustments before mass production of the iPhone Fold can begin. Component suppliers are now ready and waiting for Apple's signal.

An interesting piece of information is that the iPhone Fold will be equipped with a vapor chamber cooling system similar to that on the iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max, helping to control temperature in high-performance situations such as gaming or multitasking.

Apple has high expectations for iPhone Fold sales.

Apple expects to ship between 7 and 9 million iPhone Fold units in the first year – a higher number than most Android-based foldable smartphones aim for. If Apple actually achieves this, its core partners such as Samsung, TSMC, Foxconn, Shin Zu Shing, and Largan Precision will benefit.

To ensure the power of the iPhone Fold, Apple is reportedly equipping it with the A20 Pro chip, based on a 2nm process. This is also the chip expected to be found in the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max models, promising superior performance.

Despite lagging behind the trend, the iPhone Fold will be Apple's most ambitious product since the launch of the Vision Pro. However, the company will undoubtedly face considerable pressure to launch an outstanding product right from the start.

Ultimately, the iPhone Fold is expected to cost between $1,800 and $2,500, making it the most expensive iPhone ever. The big questions now surrounding the iPhone Fold revolve around price, durability, and how the company positions the product relative to the regular iPhone 18 models. All of these will determine whether Apple can help redefine the foldable smartphone market.
