There are rumors in the industry that China's top five mobile phone manufacturers have decided to no longer use folding screens, which shows that while the market is hot, major manufacturers are also aware of the many problems of this product, but Apple has never admitted it, which also shows their foresight.
Foldable mobile phone is a revolutionary technology, which was first invented by Samsung, and later many Android companies began to produce this kind of mobile phone, because Apple has not released a foldable phone, so many Android manufacturers have regarded it as a distinguishing product, wanting to occupy some share in the high-end market.
Major Android manufacturers are trying to design new foldable mobile phones, such as double-sided foldable ones, and even some domestic mobile phones have begun to prepare three-fold ones, which shows that domestic smartphones are trying to try new designs.
However, even under the joint promotion of many Android manufacturers, by 2023, the number of folding machines sold in the whole world will only be about 20 million units, far less than a smart phone with annual sales of nearly 1.2 billion.
This is also the reason why folding mobile phones are welcomed by the market, because it has a big flaw, that is, the most common folding mobile phones on the market at present, only Samsung has, and most of the mobile phones are made of plastic, and folding mobile phones, which are already very fragile, if there is any damage, it is also a lot of money to repair, which makes many people unwilling to believe.
Because the disadvantages of folding phones are too obvious, so as the former overlord, Apple did not bring it to the market, and Android manufacturers are in a dilemma, if Apple releases a foldable phone, it is equivalent to a fierce competition with other manufacturers, and if Apple does not release, it means that its market share will be greatly limited.
Previously, on the issue of curved screens, Apple also had another view on this, and when the Android company started releasing phones with curved screens, Apple did not show any changes; Now Samsung has given up on the curved screen, and Chinese mobile phones have also begun to turn to curved screens, but the Chinese market does not have a good impression of this phone, and some domestic mobile phones have also begun to give up.
Whether it is a mobile phone with a curved screen or a foldable screen, there is a disadvantage, that is, it is difficult to be accepted by users, not only will there be many problems in ordinary life, but also if a display screen is damaged, it will cost thousands of dollars to repair, or buy a second-hand foldable screen mobile phone or a curved screen, such a pit design, of course, will make customers feel very unhappy.

In the eyes of many people, foldable mobile phones are a first-class product, and Android has only undergone an innovation to meet the needs of users, but many apps have not made any improvements at this point, such as in the process of ***, there will be obvious black frames on the screen, and the user's experience is not as good as a notebook.
And now, the era of folding mobile phones has passed, and two domestic companies have announced that they will no longer develop foldable products, and one company has also stopped the research on double-sided folding, which shows that domestic companies have worked hard for several years and found that their products are likely to fail, so they will give up.
