According to Wccftech, Apple has succeeded in designing a crease-free screen, something that current foldable smartphone manufacturers like Samsung have not been able to do due to many complex problems. Currently, the iPhone Fold has entered the technical validation and pre-production stages.

iPhone Fold will be released next year
The screen size and assembly process have been finalized, but the battery capacity has not been decided and the hinge is still in development. Now that the folding issue has been resolved, Apple can move the iPhone Fold from the testing phase to engineering validation and mass production.
In addition to Foxconn, component makers such as Largan Precision, Shin Zu Shing and Chi Hong will also benefit from the launch of these foldable smartphone models.
While the inner panel is said to be supplied by Samsung, the bearing will be developed by Apple in collaboration with two suppliers, Shin Zu Sing and Amphenol. When the bearing and panel are combined, the iPhone Fold will not experience the wrinkling problem that is common on other foldable devices.
In addition, Apple is also focusing on developing high-strength hinge components made from liquid metal - a material with extremely high durability to ensure sturdiness for users. However, the cost of this technology may not be cheap when a recent report indicates that the average selling price of the hinge alone is around 70 - 80 USD.
While the latest information does not mention when the iPhone Fold will be mass produced, Apple is expected to launch the product alongside the iPhone 18 Pro series as the company is pursuing a new launch strategy in 2026.
