JAKARTA After the presence of the iPhone Air, now the iPhone Fold is the next most awaited Apple phone. However, this device is expected to arrive late until 2027.
This delay is thought to have occurred due to unresolved design problems. In addition, crucial component problems such as hinges are also considered to be a factor of delay.
According to a report from Mizuho Securities in Japan, revealed by The Elec, Apple is still trying to complete the design and final specifications of the iPhone Fold. The company reportedly has not decided on details for several important components.
Mizuho Securities stated in a note to investors that it is not easy to mass-produce this foldable phone in the third quarter of 2026. Therefore, the potential release in September next year is considered impossible.
"It took time to decide on Apple's hinge design and final specifications," wrote the securities company, quoted by AppleInsider. However, analysts from Mizuho Securities did not completely rule out a possible launch in 2026.

If Apple manages to bring this foldable phone on time, it is believed that iPhone Fold production will decrease between five to seven million units from the initial estimate. This delay will also make Apple even more interested in Samsung, its main competitor.
Currently, Samsung is still one of the leading producers in the global foldable phone market. Late production of the iPhone Fold will leave Apple eight years behind Samsung.
