Today, according to the news predicted by senior screen analyst Ross Young, Apple plans to release a folding screen iPhone as soon as 2023.
This folding screen iPhone will be equipped with an 8-inch flexible screen, which can be called the “largest” iPhone in history.
As early as May of this year, there was news that Apple was working on launching a folding screen iPhone in 2023. This folding screen iPhone will use an 8-inch flexible OLED display.
In September of this year, it was reported that Samsung was supplying samples of folding screens to Apple for testing.
In November, there were media reports that Apple had started the “early work” of the folding screen iPhone, but the development progress at that time was still limited to the display screen and did not start other aspects of software and hardware development.
Well-known analyst Ming-Chi Kuo once put forward his point of view that foldable phones will become a necessity for all smart phone brands including Apple in the future.
In this field, many mobile phone manufacturers have completed product iterations and made their own products.
From this perspective, Apple, which is still developing the first generation of folding screen mobile phones, still needs to solve key technical problems and mass production problems, seems to be slower.
But even so, judging from the previously leaked news, Apple has already achieved certain technical results and has begun to contact suppliers, which is enough to show that the folding screen iPhone is gradually approaching consumers.
In recent years, the design of the iPhone has not changed significantly for several consecutive generations. For consumers, a “largest in history” iPhone that can be opened is undoubtedly attractive. We hope that in 2023 we can see Apple in smartphones. Another innovation in the field.
