It seems that from apple it is never enough and despite the viral premiere of the Vision Pro, this is already in the past for them and have set a new and ambitious goal: a folding mobile. Until now, samsung has been the main company making these types of smartphones, but the new iPhone could change that.
Although rumors have been heard about foldable versions of the iPhone, Apple was believed to have stopped its development due to durability and design issues.
However, a new report from The Information suggests that the company could resume this project. While Apple is known for its secrecy around products in development, leaks and internal reports suggest that the company could be reconsidering entering fully into the foldable mobile market.
Specific, Apple is said to be already working on two foldable iPhones and a foldable iPad. However, these devices may not be seen any time soon.
Go for the foldable iPhone: Apple’s new goal
According to The Information, Apple wants to create a foldable iPhone with an external screenbut the engineers working on the project have a difficult time doing so because it can break easily.
It suggests that the company aims to make a foldable that is “as thin as current iPhone models”, but is reportedly facing problems as components such as the battery and screen increase the thickness of the device.
Of course there is a lot of work to do and great innovations to demonstrate. Competition in this segment has grown quite a bit in recent years, with brands such as Samsung, huawei, oppo/oneplus, motorola and Google landing in the market. Although initially faced with durability issues, foldable devices have matured and now offer a quality experience.
For Apple, however, the key question remains what level of novelty a product should reach before it is released, a standard the company has always held high: Maybe they will eliminate the famous fold? Will they make them more durable over time when opening and closing?
Those from Cupertino, for the moment, seem to have established relationships with at least one parts manufacturer in Asia to buy components for foldable iPhones of different sizes, suggesting that the technology giant is experimenting with more than one until they find what They look for it and they surely get it.
