Recent supply chain reports from Nikkei and analyst updates from Ming-Chi Kuo indicate Apple has begun ramping production for a book-style foldable iPhone, expected to launch alongside the iPhone 18 Pro models in September 2026 with a starting price around $2,000. This timeline aligns with Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman confirming on-track development and Apple prioritizing the device over the base iPhone 18, which may slip to early 2027. While some engineering hurdles could limit initial availability or push shipments slightly later in 2026, the absence of major delays in the past month has strengthened trader consensus, reflected in the 87% implied probability for a pre-2027 release. Key upcoming catalysts include Apple’s September event and further production yield data.
