Apple has reportedly halted work on its folding iPhone due to issues with the screen’s durability. The problem arose during testing of a folding phone from another company, which used a Samsung-manufactured screen that broke after only a few days.
Apple has stopped working on creating a foldable iPhone.
Apple purchased a number of foldable devices for evaluation, including one with a Samsung-made screen. However, the device’s screen broke within a few days of testing, leading Apple to halt the project indefinitely. The resumption date remains unknown.
Samsung has supplied screens to Apple previously, but the challenge of creating a foldable phone without issues is evident from this leak. Apple has not disclosed much about the folding mechanism of the iPhone, with speculations about flexible or shell-like folding screens remaining unconfirmed.
It’s important to note that while this information is not officially confirmed, Apple typically does not respond to rumors or leaks. If Apple is delaying the release of the foldable iPhone, it may be to focus on perfecting the product for high quality. This process can be time-consuming, and we may not see a foldable iPhone until 2027.
