Reports suggest Apple's upcoming iPhone 18 series, expected in 2026, may feature US-made camera sensors manufactured by Samsung, potentially shifting away from long-time supplier Sony. Samsung is reportedly hiring for its Austin plant to produce these high-end sensors, possibly for Pro models and an anticipated iPhone Fold. Concurrently, Samsung is rumored to be developing a new foldable device with a 7.6-inch inner screen and 5.4-inch cover display, designed to compete with Apple's foldable entry.
