Apple's Foldable iPhone Back on Track for September 2026 Launch After Brief Delay Concerns

iPhone

Initial reports from Nikkei Asia about engineering problems and potential delays in Apple's foldable iPhone caused AAPL stock to drop 13 points on April 10, but Bloomberg's Mark Gurman quickly countered that the device remains on schedule for its September 2026 debut alongside the iPhone 18 Pro models. The foldable iPhone is expected to be priced above $2,000 and positioned as an ultra-premium statement piece, though initial supply may be limited due to the complexity of manufacturing foldable devices at scale.
