Industry insiders revealed that Apple's foldable phone project has been in development for over five years, and there was no final decision until the second half of this year when the overall design was confirmed, and trial production began. If everything is ready, it could enter mass production and be launched by the end of next year. In terms of supply, it is widely expected that the foldable iPhone's screen panels will be exclusively supplied by Samsung, while the core processor will be manufactured by TSMC (TSM.US), with Chiaphua Components handling the VC thermal plates, and New Sun responsible for shipping the foldable hinges, while Largan Precision (3008.TW) will supply the lens components
