Apple has reportedly reached out to at least one component supplier in Asia despite the devices still being in the very early stages of development.
Forward-looking: Apple is said to be actively working on at least two foldable iPhone prototypes after spending more than half a decade on research and development.

Apple has reportedly reached out to at least one component supplier in Asia despite the devices still being in the very early stages of development.
That said, sources don’t expect a foldable iPhone to be ready for mass production in 2024 or 2025, which puts 2026 as the earliest possible date for launch.
