Apple’s Foldable iPhone May Face Delayed Global Launch

Apple is reportedly making its first iPhone that can fold.

It may show the phone at a September event with several other new iPhones.

The phone could be difficult to make because its hinge and screen need more testing.

Making it may also be expensive.

Because there may not be enough phones at first, Apple could sell them in only a few countries.

People in the United States may get it first.

China could receive it next, while Australia may wait two or three more months.

It is not yet clear when India would receive it.

Apple has not confirmed these reports.
