Apple’s foldable iPhone is now closer to release than ever
This comes following numerous back-and-forth reports that foldable iPhone buyers would have to wait until as late as December for their new devices. Writing in a post on the Weibo social network, leaker Instant Digital says that the most likely outcome is that Apple will be able to debut the foldable iPhone in September.
However, if Apple does choose to split the releases, the leaker doesn’t anticipate a long wait. They say the iPhone Fold will ship a month after the iPhone 18 Pro.
