A foldable Apple iPhone is nearly ready for production, new leak reveals

Apple’s foldable iPhone could be (finally) right around the corner, with a new report saying the display has “finalized specifications” with production set for autumn 2025.

Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo posted an update on X on Wednesday that Apple supplier Foxconn “is expected to officially kick off the project” in late third quarter or early fourth quarter 2025, meaning anywhere between August and November. Kuo shared a similar update in March, predicting the foldable iPhone’s release would be 2026, Kuo says, which would line up with the expected launch of the iPhone 18 series.

But of course, Kuo adds, “all plans remain subject to change.”

One of the biggest updates here is that Kuo says the iPhone’s foldable display is reportedly “one of the few components with finalized specifications.” This display, the analyst says, will be built using Samsung Display panels, writing that the manufacturer “plans to build annual production capacity for 7-8 million foldable panels to supply the 2026 foldable iPhone.”

As for the rest of the foldable iPhone, “many component specifications (including the hinge, which has drawn considerable market attention) have yet to be finalized,” Kuo added.

Rumours have run rife about the foldable iPhone for years, with Mashable’s Stan Schroeder detailing the latest rumoured specs in March. In Kuo’s latest post, they also report rumoured claims that “Apple has placed an order for 15–20 million foldable iPhones,” and that Apple “may ship several million units annually in both 2027 and 2028, possibly due to its premium pricing.”

And what towering pricing it is.

White House officials are exploring official government oversight of new AI models, according to the New York Times.

U.S. officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity, told the publication that the Trump administration is forming an AI working group composed of tech leaders and government representatives. The group will be tasked with outlining potential oversight procedures for new models launching to market, including formal review processes, the Times reported.

The proposed plans were discussed at a White House meeting last week with representatives from Anthropic, Google, and OpenAI.

Potentially influenced by regulatory processes announced by UK regulators, which relegate AI oversight to relevant government bodies, the working group would also determine which U.S. agencies would be tasked with oversight. Some officials have suggested the National Security Agency (NSA), the White House Office of the National Cyber Director, and the director of national intelligence take the lead, while others have even suggested revitalizing the Biden-era Center for A.I. Standards and Innovation, according to the Times.

The administration has reversed its stance on AI regulation in recent months, despite announcing a federal AI action plan that pulled back on regulation of tech companies and threatened to reduce federal funding for states that impeded AI infrastructure efforts through regulation. Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill also included limits on state governments’ AI regulation, originally proposing a 10-year moratorium on state action in favor of federal oversight.

Trump appointee and FCC chairman Brendan Carr has also advocated for a light-touch approach to AI regulation.

On May 4, 2026, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filed an amended complaint to add the Elon Musk Revocable Trust dated July 22, 2003 (the “Revocable Trust”) as a defendant to this action. The amended complaint alleges that the defendants failed to timely file a beneficial ownership report with the Commission after the Revocable Trust acquired beneficial ownership of more than five percent of the outstanding shares of Twitter, Inc. common stock, in violation of the beneficial ownership reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”).

The SEC simultaneously moved for entry of a consent final judgment as to the Revocable Trust. Without admitting or denying the allegations of the complaint as to the Revocable Trust, the Revocable Trust consented to entry of a final judgment, subject to court approval, that would permanently enjoin it from violating Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Rule 13d-1 thereunder and order it to pay a civil penalty of $1.5 million.

As explained in the consent motion, if the court enters the proposed final judgment as to the Revocable Trust as proposed by the Revocable Trust and the SEC, the SEC will file a stipulated dismissal of Elon Musk in his personal capacity, which will resolve this case in its entirety.
