Leaks indicate that Apple will finally launch next year the first foldable iPhone, which is currently referred to as the iPhone Fold.
According to a new note to investors from Jeff Pu, a source known for his Apple-related leaks, the iPhone Fold will use a mix of titanium and aluminum in the frame structure.
What is striking is that the iPhone 17 Pro models had recently moved from stainless steel to titanium, then returned this year to aluminum, which is the original material used in the first iPhone, in the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max.
Renowned analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, known for his extensive connections within Apple’s supply chain in Asia, had previously stated that the iPhone Fold’s frame will be made entirely of titanium, while titanium and aluminum will be used together in the hinge.
It seems that one of the sources has misunderstood, or that Apple has changed its plans recently, according to the source.
