Apple is reportedly testing several foldable iPhone prototypes. But an actual market launch is probably still years away. That's what a reliable leaker now claims.
After leaker DylanDKT already revealed details about the upcoming iPhone 14, he also revealed more information about Apple's plan regarding a foldable iPhone, the so-called "iPhone Fold". The leaker claims that Apple is "definitely working on and testing several prototypes with certain foldable displays". However, Apple may have concerns about the general trend towards foldable smartphones.
There are still too many compromises in foldable display technology. There are also concerns about whether foldable smartphones will continue to have a place in the market or whether they will become obsolete.
Foldable iPhone: Apple doesn't want to make the same mistakes as Samsung and Co.
That's why it says that Apple is "carefully monitoring the market and correcting the mistakes of its competitors." These mistakes undoubtedly include the failed attempts of competitors such as Huawei and Samsung to fold smartphones. Even the current foldable devices could still be considered "beta products." DylanDKT added added that the goal is to ensure that a foldable iPhone device "is not a step backwards from the current iPhone form factor." In other words, Apple is playing the long game as usual. Other respected analysts and industry observers, including Ming-Chi Kuo, believe that a foldable iPhone will not be released until 2023 or 2024 at the earliest.
