There have been a bunch of rumors about the foldable iPhone Flip in recent weeks, including one that claimed development may be delayed due to problems with the foldable screen. With that in mind, it’s no surprise to hear that the phone may not launch until late 2026.

According to Korean news site Alpha Economy, Apple has decided on releasing the iPhone Flip in September 2026 alongside the iPhone 18. That means we’ll be waiting another two and a half years for the phone to arrive, at which point we’ll have just seen the launch of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8.
