iPhone Fold Expected to Launch on Time in September Despite Delay Rumors

[pdaholic]

The flip-flopping is at an all-time high today. Stop playing with my emotions, Macrumors!

Interesting how stuck the rumor media is on the name "iPhone Fold," when we have to know from experience that Apple is extremely unlikely to choose such a lackluster product name for their new flagship iPhone. Some lessons will never be learned, I guess.

What else would they call it? Nobody knows what Apple is going to name it so how would the rumor media know how to refer to it? For now the only thing they can refer to it by is what it’s going to be…..a folding iPhone from Apple, hence the iPhone fold….. or would you prefer that every rumor media give it a different name based on their guess of what it’s going to be?

If gurman said it will be on time, then you know it’ll be delayed.

Not the greatest economy to release a phone that retails for 3 grand. Discretionary spending will keep plummeting as the cost of goods a fuel go up.

Honestly I am not sure how far we can trust Gurman. He has sometimes the most contradicting and wild rumors especially about Siri release.

Oppo was able to get it done way earlier than Apple. I doubt they still trying to figure it out

My decision to buy an iPhone ultra will be based largely and its ability to record spatial video. If it can, I'm likely in. If it cannot, I will look for a phone from my Apple that can.

I don’t know what to believe anymore…

This site is sponsored by tea leaves! 50%of the time they’re right 100% of the time!

Wait until gen 3, gen 1 and gen 2 are a little... underwhelming. Remember apple watch gen 1?, gen 2?, until gen 3 it became decent.

What I believe is that there’s a high number of controlled leaks.

Simply calling it a folding iPhone works. No need to create a proper noun that is bound to be wrong. Funny, because just today, MR published an article reporting that "Fold" was unlikely to be Apple's name choice for the product (as if anyone really thought it would be). In this article, it is called "Apple's first foldable" and the product name Ultra is suggested as more likely. Anyway, just the latest in the long history of the Apple rumor mill settling on misnomers. Easily avoided, hardly ever is.

Stock market having a field day with these mixed signals.

Serious question:

Why is this so hard for Apple? Are they doing something "so much better" than the top foldable phones in the market today? All I've seen is a no crease display which was later downgraded to "much less noticeable crease"

 

[jon9091]

That’s good news. I don’t want anything to delay my not buying this thing.

Its gonna launch on time with all the design faults. Thanks BETA users, still haven't learned from the AVP-Fiasco.

But where's the fun in that? Haha!!

I've had every Apple Watch since Series 0 (0, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, Ultra, Ultra2, Ultra3).

Yes, the Series 0 was underwhelming compared to later models (especially when cellular appeared in S3) but I wouldn't trade the thrill of getting that Series 0 for anything.

I'll be on the iPhone Flip/Fold/Ultra train as soon as it leaves the station. And then dreaming of the next gen, haha!!

One thing's for sure:

 

[Dj64Mk7]

What do you mean “on time” and “delayed”?

The thing hasn’t even been announced yet! As far as anyone outside of Apple is concerned, it doesn’t exist yet!

Therefore, it cannot be delayed or on time! Only Apple internally truly knows if it’s either of those, according to Apple’s timetables that are obviously not public!

Gurmin rumored to release article on iPhone rumored to launch in September, despite delay rumors, on MacRumors.

Allegedly

“folding iPhone” vs “iPhone fold” you’re just splitting hairs there

Fine, we'll call it iFold.

Not really. When both words are capitalized, as they always are in these articles, it becomes a proper noun.

 

[Dj64Mk7]

An iPhone, an iPad, and ??????

Funny, that. When Apple was about to release their first tablet computer, some in the Apple rumor mill (including this site) persisted in calling it the "iSlate" right up to its debut -- without thinking for a moment, I guess, about what a terrible name this would be for the product.
