Apple's first foldable iPhone faces unexpected production hurdles as a new leak claims the company hasn't finalized color options. According to leaker Instant Digital, Apple remains undecided on whether to include black despite September rumors pointing to an imminent launch. This indecision could impact the device's release timeline.

The color controversy stems from Apple's recent shift away from black in premium models. The iPhone 18 Pro series is expected to skip black entirely, offering Dark Cherry, Light Blue, Dark Gray, and Silver instead. With Samsung Display already producing foldable displays and manufacturing tests underway in April, time appears to be running out for Apple's color deliberations.

Whatever colors Apple chooses, the foldable iPhone will carry a premium price tag. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman hinted at costs exceeding $2,000, with previous reports suggesting it could reach $2,500. Only white has been confirmed so far, with one additional color still undetermined. This uncertainty raises questions about Apple's readiness for its first foldable device.
