iPhone Fold Enters Trial Production Phase Ahead of 2026 Launch

TL;DR AI
2 min readKey summary
Foxconn has begun trial production of the iPhone Fold.
If testing goes smoothly, mass production is planned to start in July.
Apple aims for a 2026 launch; the Fold may miss September and could arrive after the iPhone 18 Pro, possibly as late as December.
Reported hardware: about 5.5-inch screen closed, about 7.8-inch open, a wider 4:3 aspect ratio, and an open thickness near 4.5mm.
No triple-lens camera or telephoto; TrueDepth Face ID won’t fit—rumors point to a side Touch ID and a nearly invisible crease; source: Instant Digital.
