A commercial foldable iPhone is far from reaching consumers' hands, but according to the latest report, Apple might be getting somewhere with it. Foxconn, the technology giant’s long-term assembly partner, is apparently testing out the folding smartphone and if things go according to plan, we might see it during the third quarter of 2022.

A fresh report from Chinese publication UDN talks about Apple and Foxconn’s partnership going beyond the assembly of ‘candy-bar’ form factor iPhones. This time, Apple has reportedly asked Foxconn to test the foldable display as well as its bearings. These bearings responsible for the folding of the display will likely be sourced from different suppliers, but Foxconn will handle the final assembly.
