foldable iPhone: will it ever see the light of day and if so when will it arrive?

Apple is working on a foldable iPhone we were
hearing rumors about a foldable iPhone long before
the Samsung galaxy fold was even in the picture some of
those early patents date back up to 10 years but in true
apple fashion the company has been taking and its sweet time
to make it happen which is not necessarily a bad thing it’s
just you know different than Samsung’s free-for-all and let’s be
first to market approach earlier rumors pointed at 2021 as a
the potential target date for the foldable iPhone but last I
checked it is 2021 and that’s just not going to happen
now it’s looking more like 2023 at least according to
the long time apple analyst ming chi quo as cited in mac
rumors this timeline seems to match up well with
Bloomberg’s report from earlier this year states
that apple already has a working prototype of a foldable

iPhone display so note that just and the display meaning
not a full-fledged iPhone yet but at least it’s a step up
from just a patent which until now was all we had and boy
did we have patents apple took out pretty much every
patent under and the sun when it comes to foldable display so
you had origami-style folding had wrapped around the display
luckily both Bloomberg and quo agree that this would
be more of a traditional fold-out design and it would fold
out to a 7.5 or 8-inch display so the size of an iPad mini
and somewhere in between the surface duo the galaxy
fold but it would be more like the fold in that the hinges
would be underneath a continuous display and not out
in the open,

unlikely that the Foldable iPhone would be any cheaper

while Samsung has been out there testing the waters
with the fold and the flip apple has been quietly taking
notes in the background learning from the pain points
of foldable devices and figuring out if there’s a real use
a case for them one of these pain points is the crease
Apple would likely wait until corning has some kind of
bendable glass solution to put on its foldable iPhone
which is actually already in the works rather than opt for
that glass and plastic mix that Samsung uses on the fold
which does leave a crease pain point number two is
the price at two thousand dollars the full two is over twice

as much as some of Samsung’s other flagship phones and
it’s unlikely that the iPhone would be any cheaper and i
don’t know about you but I don’t want to have to spend
any more on my phone all this to say that we still have a
ways to go before we see a foldable iPhone in the wild
which leaves us more time to dream so let me know
what you would like to see in a foldable iPhone anything
from size to design thankyou
