Screen mass production is supposed to begin in the fourth quarter of this year, so the foldable iPhone can go on sale in 2026.

It was rumored that Apple’s foldable iPhone could cost a small fortune, but a new report suggests it might be cheaper than expected.

Apple may have found a solution to the problem. According to a report by analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple will be using displays from Samsung Display Corporation, which has developed a crease-free display for folding phones. To prevent creasing, the display uses metal plates created by Fine M-Tec, a manufacturer of components.

Apple expert Mark Gurman claims iPhone 17 could launch after Labor Day as usual, with September 8th being the earliest likely date.
