However, it [has been delayed](https://www.mindstick.com/news/3774/apple-temporarily-pauses-foldable-phone-development-due-to-screen-testing-snag) due to the challenges of satisfying [supply chain](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/23184/how-blockchain-is-helping-supply-chain-management) requirements and [understanding](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/12918/cat-5e-vs-cat-6a-understanding-the-major-differences) consumer demand. **Problems in [Supply Chains](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/105343/how-is-ai-applied-in-optimizing-the-efficiency-of-manufacturing-supply-chains) Bring Delay Issues** As per a report by AlphaBiz, a Korean outlet that previously mentioned a 2026 (later than last year) release, the company has modified the launch timeframe since it is complicated by the supply and demand dynamics. The insider said to be familiar with Apple's internal business, is quoted as saying that the company is carefully planning the launch and that all details, including the sourcing of foldable displays, have been taken into serious consideration. Postponement of the launch puts the spotlight on the fact that Apple has prioritized product quality overall, even when confronted with unexpected problems. ## Innovation and Quality focus first Apple has been committed to adding the [latest technology](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/113783/how-are-the-latest-technology-trends-reshaping-the-future-of-remote-work-and-collaboration) to its foldable phone even after the incident.
