Apple began preparing for its debut in the foldable tech industry by unveiling its first-ever foldable iPhone device, anticipated to feature a unique hinge design akin to the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip series.
A recent report from DigiTimes Asia reveals that Samsung Display and Apple got together in a deal for foldable displays, which points to a possible foldable iPhone launch by Apple by the end of 2026. If the reports are to be believed, Apple inked a deal with Samsung Display for its foldable devices to arrive from the supply chain, citing industry giants.
At the moment, there is a lack of sufficient details, but if the reports come true, then it is possible that the first foldable Apple device could be more similar to an iPhone. Previously, it was reported that Apple was also looking forward to dealing with LG Display. On another note, it is expected that Apple may have signed a foldable display deal with the Korean giant for a device, which could be a 20.3-inch foldable device, according to a report.
There’s no rocket science; a 20.3-inch device can’t be an iPhone; by this prospect, it could be a new foldable MacBook or an entirely new segment of devices Apple is gearing up for. Previously, a leaked patent hints that the folding mechanism can be implemented for a wide range of devices, including phones, tablets, laptops, and the rest of other portable devices.
Some reports also claim that Apple is setting up to debut not only two foldable devices, citing a source with direct knowledge of the situation. The report also says that Apple has shifted some of its resources from its Vision Pro headset department to help develop the foldable device.
