Apple has halted the progress of its foldable iPhone due to a screen durability issue. The problem arose when testing a folding phone from a different company featuring a Samsung-made screen, which broke after only a few days.
Apple has halted the progress of creating a foldable iPhone.
Apple purchased multiple foldable models for evaluation, one of which featured a Samsung-made screen. However, the device’s screen broke after just a few days of testing. Consequently, Apple has put the project on hold indefinitely, with no announced plans for its resumption.
Samsung has supplied screens to Apple for a while now, but the recent leak underscores the challenges of creating a foldable phone without issues. Apple has not disclosed much about the folding mechanism of the iPhone, with speculations about stretchable or shell-like folding screens circulating, but no official confirmation has been made.
It’s important to note that although not officially confirmed, Apple typically does not address rumors or leaks. If Apple is working on a foldable iPhone, they may be taking extra time to refine the details to ensure a high-quality final product. This process could result in a potential release of a foldable iPhone as late as 2027.
