Apple's Foldable iPhone Is 'On Track' To Launch In September

Overview
Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman says Apple’s foldable iPhone is still on track for a September unveiling alongside the iPhone 18 Pro lineup. 9to5Mac reports that Apple’s stock took a hit earlier today after Nikkei Asia indicated the iPhone Fold was experiencing serious production issues. Sources within Apple were motivated to share positive news via Gurman.
Gurman previously noted that he expected an iPhone Fold release date slightly later than the iPhone 18 Pro, which remains possible. Internally, Apple appears optimistic about a targeted September launch.
The report continues:
“While the complexity of the new display and materials may limit initial supply for several weeks, Apple is currently operating with a plan to put the device on sale around the same time—or very soon after—the new non‑foldable models, the people said.”
Gurman adds an important qualifier:
“Still, the release is six months away and production has yet to ramp up. That means the timing isn’t final.”
