Although Apple has never revealed anything about the foldable iPhone, there are many related revelations.
Recently, the latest news from the Korean media The Elec shows that Samsung is integrating its internal team and preparing in advance to meet Apple's folding screen device orders. According to **chain sources, Samsung Display has recently reorganized the R&D team and marketing team, and redeployed the business for Apple. According to The Elec, Samsung has established a foldable product development department and a foldable panel development department, both of which are managed by the team responsible for Apple's business.
In short, there are signs that Samsung has begun to develop a project for Apple's foldable products, including a 20-inch foldable panel. Coincidentally, as early as July this year, a Samsung executive said in public that it was actively cooperating with Apple to develop Apple foldable products. Although the executive did not reveal more details about the product itself, he said that Samsung is working with Apple on research and development to solve some of the problems that exist in foldable products at this stage. For example, the folding screen currently needs to solve technical problems such as hinges and creases.
Lotpop combined with previous outside news that Apple may currently be working on a 20-inch foldable device, which is expected to be launched as soon as 2025. In line with Apple's usual product strategy, Apple will make initial attempts on foldable MacBooks and test whether the new technology can be applied to its other products. After the technology is relatively mature, Apple may launch a folding screen iPhone in the future. Speaking of which, although Samsung and Apple have been in a market competition relationship for a long time, it will be beneficial to Samsung for Apple to launch folding screen products.

After all, Samsung has been deeply involved in folding screen technology for many years, and if Apple finally decides to launch folding screen products, most of them need to get technical support from Samsung. At the same time, once Apple enters the folding screen market, I believe it can also bring more possibilities to this new category of products. Especially at a time when the innovation and development of smartphones has reached a bottleneck, foldable products may indeed become the next possible future. Take the report released by DSCC, a well-known display research institute in August this year, that the global sales of folding screen mobile phones will reach a new high in the second quarter of 2023. According to the data, in the second quarter of 2023, global folding screen mobile phone shipments increased by 16% quarter-on-quarter and 42% year-on-year to 2.2 million units.
Among them, Samsung led Huawei by a slight margin of 32% to 30%, becoming the folding screen sales champion in the second quarter of this year. For Apple, folding screen products are still a completely new field that has never been developed. Whether it is for the market attempt of new categories or the growing demand of users, Apple's determination to enter the folding screen market is something worth looking forward to.
