A recent leak has indicated that Apple has paused development of a foldable iPhone due to possible screen durability issues. According to the blogger, Fixes Focus Digital, Apple has been purchasing and testing rival foldable phones as part of its research and development process and has hit an issue.
At least one of the foldables that Apple has been testing uses a Samsung-made display. The tipster states that Samsung’s latest folding panels “broke down after a few days” of Apple's tests. This issue has reportedly led to Apple pausing development for the time being with no indication of when it will resume. There has been no word from either Samsung or Apple on the issue, but this kind of situation would not be unheard of during development.
