Apple's First Foldable iPhone May Be Hard to Find
Apple is making its first foldable iPhone. A foldable phone can bend in the middle. New reports say the phone may be hard to buy at first.
The reports say production may not be stable for three to five months. Production means making many phones in a factory. If it is not stable, there are not enough phones for everyone.
This means many people may want to buy the new iPhone but cannot. Stores may not have enough phones for a long time.
There are also other new iPhones coming this year. People call them the iPhone 18 series. One phone may be called the iPhone 18 Pro.
People are talking about the price of the new iPhone 18 Pro. Some reports say it could cost more money than before. It might be about 70,000 yen more.
People also talk about a new feature called a variable aperture. A feature is a special part of a product. An aperture is a small hole in a camera that lets in light. A variable aperture can change size.
New colors and cases for the iPhone 18 Pro have also appeared online. Many fans are excited to see the new designs.
Nothing is fully confirmed yet. Apple has not said anything official about these phones.
