Apple has been making headlines lately for its rumored development of a foldable iPhone. Many were speculating that Apple was on track to release a clamshell foldable iPhone similar to Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip series. However, recent reports suggest that Apple may have halted the development of this device due to concerns over durability.

According to tech video blogger Fixed Focus Digital, Apple has put a pause on the development of the foldable iPhone because of concerns about its durability. The report also mentioned that Apple has been purchasing foldable phones from other manufacturers, including Samsung, to reverse engineer them. It is reported that one of the prototypes developed by Apple using a Samsung-supplied display broke down after just a few days of heavy-duty testing.

As a result, it seems that we shouldn’t expect a foldable iPhone from Apple anytime soon. The company’s roadmaps for 2024 and 2025 do not include any plans for foldable devices. However, there is still speculation about the potential release of a foldable iPad in the future.

While rumors continue to circulate about Apple’s plans for foldable devices, it’s clear that there are still some challenges to overcome before these products become a reality.
