👂 New data about the foldable iPhone

📱 According to Chinese analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Foxconn is expected to officially launch the development of the assembly project in late 2025. At this point, many component specifications (including the hinge) have yet to be approved.

📆 The foldable display is the only component that has approved specs. They will be supplied by Samsung Display in quantities of 7-8 million panels. However, although the panels will begin to be delivered this year, the device itself will not be assembled in full and in large-scale volumes until 2026.

🧮 Ming-Chi Kuo claims that Apple has placed an order for the assembly of 15-20 million folding iPhones for the next 2-3 year cycle, not just for 2026. That is, the company predicts a relatively small demand for the novelty and therefore is already calculating delivery plans for 2027 and 2028. The probable reason is its high price and correspondingly low demand. Although these plans could still change.
