It has been more than two years since the trend of foldable smartphones sky-rocketed in the market. Therefore, to slide into a new venture, Apple seeks an opportunity to step into the market with a brand new foldable iPhone. Last year, it revealed that Apple is testing two foldable iPhone design prototypes, and one of them will be launched in the market once ready. In relation to that, the renowned analyst Ming-Chi Kuo claimed that the first foldable iPhone could be found in 2023.
The Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has revealed the first foldable iPhone could be launched in the year 2023. He has given this information based on an ‘industry survey’ and has said that the shipment of Apple’s foldable phones can rise to a figure of 15 million to 20 million units. In his previous report, Ming-Chi Kuo has also claimed that the final foldable iPhone will be ready by 2023 to enter the market.
In addition to the launch timeline of the foldable iPhone, some features related to the device have also been highlighted in the report. According to the data, the foldable iPhone is likely to get a screen size of 8 inches, which will be a foldable display. Furthermore, the company will use the Samsung Display’s WQD + flexible OLED display on the main screen. The DDI display controller found in this device will also be provided with Samsung Foundry. Moreover, Apple can offer a special silver nanowire touch solution to it.
Based on the information related to the foldable iPhone revealed so far, it has been found that Apple can rely on a design that turns into a clamshell-style. It has been repeatedly brought to light in the leaks that Apple can name this device as iPhone Flip, which is compared to Samsung Galaxy Z Flip. Many tech agencies have claimed that the design of both the devices may be similar to each other, although Apple may try to include some premium features in it.
Several rumors in the market have indicated that the first foldable iPhone can have a variety of funky colors like the Apple iPhone XR and iPhone 12. The company is likely to do that to woo its young users in particular. Officially, Apple has not given any indication regarding the foldable device so far. Still, the company is testing with its foldable display of Samsung and LG, which is a big hint.
