As early as 2027, Apple delayed the release of the folding screen iPhone.

According to the road map of Apple products exposed by foreign media, the plan of Apple’s folding screen mobile phone is still going on. Apple’s original launch time was at the end of 2026. South Korea’s "Alpha Business" magazine said that Apple’s folding screen mobile phone has been postponed until the beginning of 2027, which will give Apple more time to prepare, especially to solve the problem of folding screen panels.

According to reports, Apple has tentatively scheduled Samsung Display and LG Display to provide prototype screens, but these two companies have not created screens that satisfy Apple before. It has been reported that Apple’s requirements are very high. In addition to the requirements for screen creases, it must also be durable enough.

Apple has created a lot of patented technologies for this. In one patent that has been exposed, Apple etched a groove in ultra-thin glass and covered it with flexible polymer, thus making the folding of the screen smoother, and it is not obvious on the crease.

At present, Apple is obviously behind in the progress of folding screen mobile phones. Other brands have basically introduced folding screen models, but Apple’s folding screen mobile phones have been slow to move. The folding screen mobile phone market is growing rapidly at present. With the evolution of battery and material technology, the new large folding mobile phone is close to the straight model in design sense and weight, and there is no obstacle to use in portability. It is only a matter of time before it is accepted by more users.

Of course, before Apple entered the market, the folding screen market was still unknown. After all, we don’t know what innovation Apple will have in folding screen function. However, it is still too early to discuss Apple’s folding screen mobile phone. It may have to wait until the launch of the iPhone 18 series before it can meet us.
