According to the rumors from tech experts, The foldable iPhone has supposedly been in development at Apple for years, but that doesn’t mean it will be released anytime soon. The target launch is 2023, but supply chain analysts believe 2025 is a more realistic timeframe.

Apple has reportedly been toying with the idea of a foldable iPhone for some time. However, the Cupertino giant isn’t known for rushing to bring a new product category to market before everyone else. Still, industry watchers expect the foldable smartphone market to reach 27.6 million units in 2025, representing a healthy growth compared to last year’s 7.1 million units.

Apple may have pushed back the release of its first foldable iPhone until 2025, according to Display Supply Chain Consultants (DS). DSCC analyst Ross Young feels the corporation is not in a hurry to build one after speaking with numerous people along the supply chain.
