iPhone Fold just hit major milestone that’s good news for launch timing

A Weibo leaker says the iPhone Fold has entered trial production at Foxconn, signaling progress toward mass production.

Foxconn is Apple’s main iPhone assembler, so trial production there suggests Apple is advancing the Fold’s manufacturing timeline.

Some analysts and reports have said the Fold could arrive later than the iPhone 18 Pro, with one analyst estimating availability in December.

The trial production update supports the possibility that Apple still aims for a September launch window, according to leaker claims.
