It might be really hard to get an iPhone Fold at launch

Apple's upcoming iPhone Fold faces production delays that could create severe supply shortages at launch, despite the company maintaining its 2026 release timeline. Mass production has shifted from July to August, giving Apple less time to build inventory before the expected September launch alongside the iPhone 18 Pro. While conflicting reports suggest potential delays until 2027, supply chain sources indicate Apple remains committed to its fall 2026 target, though the compressed production schedule means the foldable iPhone will likely be extremely difficult to purchase at launch.
