Screen technology has been around for a few years and although it has not yet made its way into high-end devices, companies continue to spend millions of dollars improving and designing new panels capable of fold while retaining their entire structure. In fact, there are a lot of rumors about foldable iPhones, foldable iPads or foldable MacBooks… but they are just rumors, because so far Apple has given no sign that it is working on it in its laboratories. Furthermore, new information suggests a possible foldable iPhone could be delayed until 2027, or even canceled altogether and I never see the light. We will tell you then.
Foldable iPhone could arrive in 2027 or be canceled permanently
One of the main problems with screens is the complexity of their panels and not knowing how they will withstand tens and thousands of folds over their useful life. Some media outlets claim that Apple has tested competing panels to see their durability and many of them They passed their stress tests. One of Apple’s fundamental pillars regarding its products is quality and Apple’s quality standards are very high. This means that until a device reaches this level of quality, it is not ready to launch.

And that’s what could happen around the foldable panels of a supposed foldable iPhone. The difficulties that Apple would encounter around this technology would have delayed the project to the first quarter of 2027 not only because of the complexity but also because of problems when acquiring spare parts for its product, according to a rumor published on AlphaBiz. Another rumor from a Chinese source ventured further and claimed that Apple had suspended the development of the foldable iPhone after suppliers fail to exceed quality standards.
What is true is that one way or another the launch of a foldable screen device is not expected in a short time, since the technology is still very green and Apple s would strive to reduce screen wear created by repeated fingerprints. bending or refraction problems that appear when folding the screen. But again, these are just hypotheses.
