There’s a pattern in how Apple launches its most technically ambitious products. The original iPhone X was announced alongside the iPhone 8 series in September 2017, but customers couldn’t buy one until November. The delay wasn’t a marketing tactic — it was a manufacturing constraint. The OLED panels and the new Face ID system were simply too hard to make at scale.

According to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the foldable iPhone is about to follow that same script.
