JAKARTA - According to the latest news, Apple is likely to start mass production of the iPhone Fold in 2026, with pre-production stages starting at the end of 2025. The iPhone design and manufacture process does take a very long time, and this also applies to the iPhone Fold.
Ming-Chi Kuo analyst from TF Securities said that Foxconn will start Apple's first folding smartphone production project at the end of the third quarter or the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2025. This time coincides with the launch of the iPhone 17 to the market.
However, the final design of the iPhone Fold to be produced is still uncertain. Many important components, especially hinge mechanisms, have not been finalized. However, the folding screen has been designed, with Samsung Display expected to produce between 7 and 8 million folding panels for this device.

Rumors about the iPhone Fold have emerged for years, with many predictions saying the launch is imminent, but it is always delayed. In 2021, Kuo had predicted production from 2023, then changed to 2024. Now, the launch of the iPhone Fold is believed to only occur around 2027, although this schedule can still change.
The specifications expected for the iPhone Fold include two screens: an internal folding screen measuring 7.8 inches and an external screen of about 5.5 inches. There is also speculation about the camera below the screen, a hole camera, and the return of the Touch ID feature replacing Face ID.
The price of the iPhone Fold is estimated to reach around USD 2,300 (IDR 24.3 million) when it is launched later.
