Description:
Some analysts believe that Apple might abandon its rumored foldable iPhone 
project.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

Weve been hearing about a foldable iPhone for a long time now, and recent 
leaks suggest its still years away  or that it maybe wont launch at all. 

The latest news on the matter comes from DigiTimes , which claims that 
following reports of the foldable iPhone being delayed until early 2027 , 
some analysts now fear the phone will never launch. 

The skepticism about the foldable iPhone stems from panel technology 
apparently not being mature enough  which presumably means Apple would either 
have to cancel the phone, or keep on delaying until its happy with the 
display quality. 

Thats in line with another recent report that suggested the foldable iPhone 
might be on pause until Apple could find a folding display that its happy 
with. But rather than simply being paused, this latest news suggests the 
project might be canceled altogether. The latest in a long line 

Certainly, given how long this phone has been rumored for it seems like it 
might be proving a challenge for Apple to deliver, and this wouldnt be the 
first time the company has given up on something after years of development. 
Recently we saw the Apple Car get ditched , and before that there was the 
canceled AirPower wireless charger . Some reports have also suggested Apple 
has abandoned its in-house 5G modem project. 

So there is precedent for this, and with the rumored release date of the 
foldable iPhone constantly slipping, it looks ever more believable that the 
phone might never launch at all. 

Those hoping for an Apple foldable might still be in luck though, as there 
has also been talk of a foldable iPad , which may still launch at some point 
even if the foldable iPhone is canceled. 

As far as phones go though, Apple is already in a dominant position, and 
while sales of foldables are growing they dont seem to pose any major threat 
to the company right now. So tech issues aside, a foldable iPhone might 
simply not be a priority anymore. 

Thats all just speculation for now and we may well still see a foldable 
iPhone, but dont count on it, and certainly dont expect to see one soon. You
