Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo predicts the development of the iPhone Fold is behind schedule, with a potential release in 2026 or 2027 due to early-stage production challenges, limited initial supply, and high demand, meaning consumers may face delays in obtaining the device.
Ming-Chi Kuo reports that the AirPods Pro 3 are set to be launched next week alongside the iPhone 17, featuring a heart rate sensor, a new H3 chip, and a smaller charging case, with more advanced models expected in 2026.
Apple is expected to launch its first foldable phone in 2026, adopting a crease-free display design from Samsung Display instead of developing its own. The decision aligns with Samsung's advancements in hinge technology and display durability, with suppliers like Fine M-Tec expanding production. The foldable device could be priced between $1,800 and $2,000, and Apple has a history of collaboration with Samsung for display components despite legal battles.
