Whip Bull reported that on the evening of February 23, according to foreign news reports, if you are eager for Apple's folding device, it may be available as early as next year, and it may not be an iPhone.
According to Digitimes, Apple has been developing its first foldable product for at least five years, according to chain sources. The publication confirms previous rumors that this foldable device will be a larger device, not an iPhone, but a tablet or laptop.
Allegedly, design work on the device is currently being carried out in advance of the mass production program.
Given that the hinge mechanism of foldable devices has become more and more advanced in recent years, the main problem for this device may be the development of display panels that meet the quality requirements. The current report states that the rumored suspension of the development of Samsung's foldable display panel by Apple, as well as an internal restructuring to transfer Vision Pro engineers to the foldable project, are not contradictory, as the company absolutely prioritizes quality.
The report also pointed out that Apple has not suspended the research and development of foldable devices, and the company currently has multiple departments responsible for different foldable product lines. Still, Apple's first foldable device may not be launched until 2025 at the earliest, and there may be a lot of work to be done on whichever foldable device comes first.
