According to reports on February 20, there were rumors that Apple had suspended the development of foldable iPhones due to concerns about the durability of the foldable screen. However, the latest news suggests that the tech giant is still actively pursuing the project and has transferred some key personnel from the Apple Vision Pro team to the project team.
A person close to Apple’s internal plans revealed to Alpha Biz that the company is actively developing a foldable iPhone and provided an estimated release time for the product, saying that Apple will release it in September 2026 or Foldable iPhone will be on sale around October. He also mentioned that some key members of the Apple Vision Pro team have been appointed to work on the development of the device. 
With the successor to the Apple Vision Pro not being released for at least 18 months, that gives selected developers plenty of time to move on to the next product, which is rumored to be a foldable iPhone. There have been rumors that Apple is developing two foldable iPhone prototypes, but there are still concerns about durability and high price. Although the latest news states that Apple is targeting shipments of 50 million foldable iPhones, all of these plans could be scrapped if they encounter major obstacles during development. It’s worth mentioning that with Samsung’s foldable display receiving US Department of Defense MIL-STD 810G certification, durability issues shouldn’t be a major concern for Apple. Instead, the company's main concern may be profitability and how to sell a foldable iPhone while charging users a premium similar to that of high-end models like the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
