Apple reportedly halts work on foldable iPhone after one of its concerns comes true\u060c<\/p>\n

\n
What's wrong with Apple? A little over a week ago, it was rumored that a foldable iPhone was looking increasingly secure, as Apple was reportedly developing a clamshell foldable iPhone prototype similar to Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip series. Although Apple had concerns about the durability and usefulness of such a device, it reportedly met with an Asian manufacturer to discuss producing components for two foldable iPhone<\/a> models.<\/div>\n
Today a tech video blogger using the title Fixed focus digital<\/span>with enormous success The Chinese platform Weibo<\/a>, said that Apple halted development of a foldable iPhone due to a problem we mentioned in the first paragraph. Apparently Apple was worried about the durability of a clamshell foldable iPhone. The report adds that Apple purchases foldable phones made by competing manufacturers, including Samsung<\/a>.<\/div>\n

Weibo post from Fixed Focus Digest says Apple has halted work on a foldable iPhone<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The Weibo post indicates that Apple is reverse engineering the foldable phones<\/span> from other manufacturers it purchased and at least one of the prototypes it made used a display supplied by Samsung. But Fixed focus digital<\/span> says a foldable display supplied by Samsung and used in a foldable iPhone prototype “failed after a few days” of extensive testing by Apple. This led Apple to halt work on a foldable iPhone until a more durable display could be found that met Apple's high standards.<\/p>\n

Foldables don't appear in Apple's roadmaps for 2024 and 2025 and if today's report is legit, it would seem that at this point we shouldn't expect a foldable iPhone of such early. However, the report does not specify whether Apple is abandoning the rumored portable iPad. Such a device has some advantages in terms of durability, as a foldable iPad would not have to spend time in the user's pockets and the device would be thicker than a foldable iPhone.<\/div>\n
Recently, The Elec reported that for the iPhone's 20th anniversary in 2027, Apple is considering releasing a foldable iPad to replace the 8.3-inch iPad mini. These rumors seem to be changing very quickly, so keep contacting us at PhoneArena<\/span> for the last one.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
