Following rumors in March 2026 of Samsung Display planning to ramp up production of screens for the iPhone Fold, a new report backs up that schedule. According to leaker Instant Digital on Chinese social media site Weibo, the iPhone Fold is now in testing.
“The iPhone Fold is now in trial production at Foxconn,” says the leaker (in translation). “If there is no accident, the iPhone Fold folding screen will be sold simultaneously around July like the iPhone 18 Pro.”
