The basic design of the iPhone hasn’t really changed to date. A new type of smartphone from Apple, on the other hand, will not come until next year, the revolution has been postponed.
Foldable smartphones equipped with flexible displays are on the rise. If Samsung was once alone in the hallway, more and more providers are now joining in with such unusual cell phones. The Oppo Find N, for example, was recently introduced Apple is silent and has not yet shown anything comparable.
Flexible iPhone only realistic for 2024
The iPhone manufacturer is also said to be working on a foldable smartphone, and experts like Ming-Chi Kuo have confirmed such rumors or keep them going. So far, it was assumed that Apple would like to introduce its first foldable iPhone in 2023 – late, but still within the framework. Display expert and insider Ross Young sees it differently. In his judgment, the schedule could not necessarily be kept, an idea is therefore more likely for the year 2024 (Source: DSCC).
The current iPhone 13 also remains true to the basic design approach:
Ergo: Much later than expected and hoped for. So Apple probably needs it at least 3 more years for development such a really new type of iPhone. So far it has stayed with the previous design. Users can hope for more screen space, since the notch (display notch) is available.
Well worth seeing concepts and ideas for foldable iPhones have been around for years:
Causes of Apple’s default
And why does development at Apple take so long anyway? Ming-Chi Kuo had already said earlier that Apple still had to solve “central technology and production problems” in order to ultimately be able to bring a foldable iPhone to the market by 2023. So it wouldn’t be surprising if the technology ended up being delayed until 2024. After all, Apple does not want and will not want to bring half-baked products onto the market. The first iPhone with a foldable display must also be the best smartphone with this kind of technology.
