New leak suggests iPhone Fold may arrive sooner

Apple is getting ready to launch the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. Early reports said the iPhone Fold might be shown at the same event but could reach stores later. The iPhone 18 Pro models are expected in late September, while the Fold could arrive a few weeks later or even in December.

Recent leaks suggest Apple is trying to release the Fold at the same time as the iPhone 18 Pro. A tipster on Weibo reported that trial production for the iPhone Fold has started at Foxconn in China. This usually means mass production could begin around July, keeping the launch on schedule.

However, trial production can face delays, so it is too early to be certain. Still, this shows that Apple is serious about bringing its first foldable iPhone to customers as soon as possible.
