Unsurprisingly after so many years of designing and manufacturing iPhones, Apple has a very specific process of prototyping that it follows, as exclusively revealed by AppleInsider. Now according to DigiTimes, the iPhone fold prototype is in its first round of testing.
DigiTimes says that this testing is earlier than expected, but it appears to fit with recent claims that Apple expected mass production to begin in summer 2026. While this fits with those most recent other reports, it’s still the case that the iPhone fold has been reportedly about to launch for many years.
