A recent report claimed that Apple’s foldable iPhone ran into issues during its engineering test phase, potentially delaying its launch beyond the September window by several months. However, a new report contradicts that claim, suggesting that Apple remains on track to unveil the iPhone Fold in September.
Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has dismissed recent claims of a delay, stating that development remains on track. Citing people with knowledge of the matter, Gurman reports the foldable iPhone will be unveiled alongside the iPhone 18 Pro.

According to Gurman, the foldable iPhone is expected to go on sale alongside the iPhone 18 Pro models or shortly thereafter.
However, initial supply may be limited due to the complexity of manufacturing the foldable display and other components such as the rumored 3D printed hinge. Gurman also notes that the final launch timeline could still shift, as the release is months away and production has ‘yet to ramp up’.
