Apple is reportedly moving forward with the development of a new folding screen. And the product that could come out should amaze the public.
Since Samsung launched its folding smartphones, which this year will be the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Galaxy Z Fold 6 editions, we wonder what Apple’s response will be. And the rumors that have since spread on the internet have constantly provided seemingly contradictory information. As late as last February, it seemed like Apple had taken a break from the project. However, new information tells us today that a folding device is in advanced preparation.
A folding device… but not an iPhone!
Apple would ultimately still be in the race for folding devices! This is what analyst Jeff Pu of Haitong International Securities asserts, according to whom Apple would simply have “ accelerated » on the file.
But contrary to what we had imagined for a long time, due to the proliferation of folding phones from different manufacturers in recent years, this device will not be a smartphone. And for good reason, its screen should be 20.3 inches, which would rather indicate an iPad tablet format.
See you in 2025
Still according to the same source, this device should enter production by the end of 2025. “ This timeline would be supported by information from Korean display manufacturers, as well as American and Taiwanese hinge manufacturers » indicates for his part Macrumors.
But the choice of a device much larger than a smartphone would in no way be a sign that Apple has abandoned the idea of producing a folding iPhone. Because Jeff Pu sees a phone of this type arriving on the market the year following the release of the first folding device, i.e. 2026.
This iPhone could come out with a screen size of either 7.9 inches, or 8.3 inches. There is also a possibility that Apple will simply choose to release two different models, each in one of the sizes mentioned. This time, mass production would take place at the end of 2026. To the delight of lovers of the bitten apple?
