Foldable iPhone fans will have to wait another 3 years

According to the latest report from analysis company TrendForce, fans of Apple products may have to wait until 2027 to see the first folding iPhone. The reason is said to be because Apple sets strict requirements on folds and product durability.

Meanwhile, Huawei surpassed Samsung to become the best-selling foldable phone brand globally in the first quarter of this year. However, Samsung may regain the throne with the launch of the Galaxy Z Fold6 and Z Flip6 next month.

Apple is still finding the most perfect solution for the folding screen iPhone.

However, the race in the folding phone market does not stop there. Huawei is expected to launch the world's first tri-fold phone in the third quarter of this year, a move that could shake Samsung's leading position.

As for Apple, analysts say that the company is still in the process of evaluating and perfecting components for the folding iPhone. With a launch expected in 2027, it's possible that actual development of the product won't begin until next year at the earliest.

Although slower than its competitors, Apple is still expected to create a big push for the folding phone market when the folding screen iPhone is officially introduced to the public. With meticulousness and rigor in every product detail, Apple can bring a perfect folding phone that meets the highest requirements of users.
