Several Wall Street institutions, including Morgan Stanley, are reportedly confident that Apple will release its long-rumored foldable iPhone in September, according to trading platform Futu NiuNiu. The speculation aligns with Apple’s historical product launch timeline, which often sees major announcements in the fall.
Analysts suggest that Apple’s entry into the foldable smartphone market could disrupt the sector, currently dominated by Samsung and Huawei. ‘A foldable iPhone would be a game-changer,’ said one industry analyst, speaking on condition of anonymity. ‘Apple’s ecosystem integration could set a new standard for the category.’
While Apple has not officially confirmed the device’s existence, supply chain leaks and patent filings have fueled speculation for years. The company’s recent investments in flexible display technology further support the possibility of a foldable iPhone.
If accurate, the September release would position Apple to compete during the crucial holiday shopping season. However, some experts caution that production challenges could delay the launch, as foldable screens present unique engineering hurdles.
