As we know Apple’s quite busy with iPhone 12 lineup but that doesn’t mean that they are not keeping up with the trend or even looking news these days or if you’re thinking they are just working on this year’s iPhone then my friend you’re wrong as Apple has been working on the folding iPhone something similar to Samsung’s Fold Z.
According to a tipster named IceUniverse, Apple is currently in talks with Samsung to supply a large number of sample units of foldable phone screens and “hopes to exclusively supply the amount for one year”. Well, this means only one thing that Apple is currently experimenting with the foldable since a folding iPhone is far from reality as of now.
According to various sources, Apple is currently toying around with the design and nothing is final as of now and they are not even sure whether it should be even released or not. Two patents have been leaked so far which visualizes the folding iPhone idea into two totally different ways. In one of the patents, it is being shown as two displays stuck together with a hinge something like Surface Duo while in the other one it has a design similar to Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold.
Earlier this year, Jon Prosser has also shared a bit about the folding iPhone which sounded much like the first prototype the one like Surface Duo but they aren’t exactly like that as he describes it to be continuous and seamless.
One thing we know for sure is that Apple won’t be releasing any product till its perfect whether its a normal iPhone or a folding one and current news only suggests that Apple is just exploring the possibilities and a tech giant like Apple is known for experimenting years before even the device gets to see the light so we will suggest you to not get happy and wait for a year or two to see it happening in real.
