Apple’s Foldable iPhone Moves Closer to Reality, New Leak Suggests
Apple’s foldable iPhone is inching closer to development, with a new leak revealing the company is finalizing a key supplier for its foldable display technology.
Foldable iPhone Gains Momentum
The foldable iPhone has long been a topic of speculation, but Apple has remained silent on its existence. However, a new report suggests that the company is in the final stages of selecting a supplier for its next-generation foldable display. The leak, originating from a blog account on Naver and picked up by MacRumors, points to progress in Apple’s foldable screen technology.
According to the report, Apple is working to maintain the thickness and durability of current foldable displays while improving resistance to external shocks and minimizing screen wrinkles. While the final supplier is yet to be chosen, industry insiders expect a decision between February and April.

Is the Foldable Display for an iPhone?
While many assume this development is for a foldable iPhone, Apple may have other plans. Reports have suggested that the company could introduce a foldable iPad before launching a foldable iPhone. Other tech giants, like Samsung, have already confirmed work on foldable tablets, making it a potential new product category.
Still, speculation remains that Apple could be testing foldable technology for multiple devices. If the company aims to perfect its foldable screens before launching a phone, an iPad or a new device could be the testing ground.
Possible Release Timeline
There is no confirmed launch date for a foldable iPhone. Some reports suggest it could arrive as early as this year, while others push the timeline to 2027. However, launching a foldable iPhone in 2025 seems unlikely. Apple is rumored to introduce an ultra-thin iPhone Air soon, and releasing two radically different iPhones in the same year would be out of character for the brand.
Instead, Apple may take its time refining the technology, ensuring durability and performance before unveiling a foldable device. Given Apple’s history of perfecting new concepts rather than rushing to market, a later release date seems more realistic.
What’s Next?
With Apple finalizing its foldable display supplier, more leaks will likely emerge in the coming months. The tech giant remains tight-lipped, but the industry is watching closely. Whether it’s a foldable iPhone, iPad, or an entirely new product, one thing is certain—Apple is actively developing foldable technology, and its debut could redefine the market.
