According to information from DigiTimes, Apple has officially entered the first prototype development phase (Prototype 1) for the foldable iPhone model since last month. This is an important milestone in the journey to bring this iPhone device to users, because the first prototype will have full functionality for real-life testing.
If the development process goes smoothly, Apple is expected to complete testing of the first prototype by the end of 2025. Once completed, the device will move on to the Engineering Validation Test (EVT) phase to ensure stability and manufacturability.
However, it’s still early days. Prototype 1 is just the beginning of a series of prototypes that Apple plans to make. Before moving on to EVT, the company will continue to develop at least two more prototypes to test the overall design, features, and structure.

Each prototype will go through a separate testing phase lasting about two months, allowing Apple to evaluate the performance of each design and check for compatibility with hardware and software components.
In parallel, Apple's supply chain partners will also be mobilized to participate in the testing process. They will conduct component, material and integration testing to ensure everything is running smoothly before moving to small-scale assembly.
Once component-level testing is complete, Apple will hand over the prototype assembly process to major partners like Foxconn and Pegatron, which are key in determining the mass production capabilities of the foldable iPhone.
The development of the foldable iPhone is still in its early stages, but this series of thorough testing and verification activities shows that Apple is very cautious and serious about this completely new product line.
The foldable iPhone (iPhone Fold) is a hot topic in the technology world, especially when many design and configuration information are gradually revealed. According to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the most prominent feature in the design of this iPhone model is that the crease on the screen is almost invisible. To achieve this, Apple may use a special metal frame to help distribute force evenly when the screen is folded and opened, minimizing wrinkles or creases.

One of the next notable points is the camera system. According to sources from Digital Chat Station on the Weibo platform, the iPhone Fold will have a dual camera cluster with a resolution of 48MP. Experts predict that the second lens of this cluster is likely to be an ultra-wide-angle lens, instead of a telephoto lens like on many other high-end iPhone models. The main reason comes from the space limitation in the folding design.
The selfie camera also has significant innovation. According to Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple will apply under-screen camera technology for the first time to the internal display. This helps users have a more seamless full-screen experience when opened for use, without being interrupted by the familiar hole or rabbit ears.
Meanwhile, the outer screen of the foldable iPhone will still stick to the traditional punch-hole design to accommodate the selfie camera. This not only ensures photo quality but also keeps the external design harmonious and easier to manufacture in the early stages.
Overall, the foldable iPhone is expected to be a harmonious combination of advanced technology and breakthrough design language. If the leaked information is correct, this will be one of the devices that marks a major shift for Apple in the foldable phone race.
