Apple May Sell Folding iPhone to Jump-Start Troubled Sales
- On June 19, 2025, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo announced that Foxconn will start Apple's foldable iPhone project in late Q3 or early Q4 2025 in collaboration with Samsung Display.

- This project aims to revive interest amid slowing smartphone sales and folding market contraction, but component uncertainties and careful timing suggest production and demand remain cautious.
