Apple may be preparing to launch its first foldable iPhone, according to a recent report by Macworld that says newly discovered code in the latest iOS 27 developer beta contains fresh references to a device with two internal batteries.

Apple has encountered setbacks during the engineering test phase of its first foldable iPhone, which could delay mass production and shipment schedules, according to a report by Nikkei Asia citing sources familiar with the matter.

Apple is reportedly in the early stages of developing at least two iPhone prototypes that fold horizontally like a clamshell, as per a recent report by the US-based tech news publication The Information.
