Apple's foldable iPhone is still facing production hurdles that are affecting its launch timing. According to a report from DigiTimes, Foxconn is leading the production of the device from new product introduction to mass production. Foxconn is the only Apple partner that has a realistic chance of meeting the expected production target due to its experience with precision structural components. The company began trial production in April and Apple raised its order to around 10 million units after resolving hinge and circuit board problems. However, the engineering validation phase may have caused a delay of one to two months, with the hinge structure and display durability testing being the main bottlenecks. Despite the production hurdles, the foldable iPhone is expected to be unveiled in September alongside the iPhone 18 Pro models. The device is expected to have a book-style design, an inner display of around 7.7 to 7.8 inches, and a 5.5-inch cover screen. The thickness of the device is expected to be roughly 4.5mm, and the starting price is expected to be above $2,000. The production issues are causing uncertainty about the exact launch timing of the device, but it is still expected to be released this year. The foldable iPhone is a highly anticipated device, and Apple is working to resolve the production issues to meet the expected demand.
