[Apple's Foldable iPhone Still Expected to Launch in September] Sources familiar with the matter revealed that Apple's first foldable phone is expected to launch later this year, alongside the company's regular iPhones, alleviating concerns about manufacturing delays. The source stated that Apple plans to launch the foldable model in September, simultaneously with the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max. Apple phones typically go on sale a week after their announcement. Previous reports indicated that Apple encountered challenges during the engineering testing phase of the foldable phone, potentially delaying production and shipping plans. The source added that while the complexity of the new display and materials may limit supply in the initial weeks, Apple currently still plans to launch the device around the same time as the new non-foldable model—or slightly later. As a result, Apple's stock price decline narrowed, falling approximately 2.7% to $251.88 at the time of writing. However, with six months until the launch and production capacity still needing to be gradually increased, the specific timeline is not yet finalized.
