Apple Weighs 2-Color Foldable iPhone Lineup as Black Finish Remains Unclear

Summary
A new Weibo rumor says Apple still has not finalized whether its foldable iPhone will ship in black, even as the device is expected to launch as soon as September 2026.
The uncertainty centers on the second of two previously rumored colors: white has been the only consistently cited option, while other reports point to indigo, silver or space gray/black.
Samsung Display's OLED panels are already entering mass production, making any true late-stage color indecision unusual because finish choices affect procurement and manufacturing planning.
Tight supply may explain a narrow palette instead: analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has warned yield and ramp-up constraints could last through end-2026, while Bloomberg says the device will avoid "fun colors."
Apple has used the same playbook for major launches before, debuting the iPhone X in 2 colors at $999; the foldable model is expected to start above $2,000.
