The foldable iPhone, one of Apple’s innovative projects that has excited the technology world, seems to have been postponed for now. Concerns over durability have led to a halt in the development of this advanced technology product. Technology giant Apple has allegedly suspended work on foldable screen technology. This is disappointing for Apple fans who have been eagerly awaiting a foldable iPhone.
Recently, rumors that Apple was working on a foldable iPhone similar to Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip model had increased. However, reports following these claims suggest that the project has been halted due to durability and usability issues. According to Fixed Focus Digital, a prominent tech writer with a large following on Chinese social media platform Weibo, Apple’s decision stems from serious concerns about the durability of the foldable design.
Apple has allegedly purchased foldable phone models from competitors, particularly Samsung, and conducted extensive reverse engineering tests to assess the design and durability of these devices. A prototype foldable iPhone equipped with Samsung-supplied display technology is said to have suffered display failures after a short period of testing.
Given Apple’s high quality standards and customer expectations, it’s not surprising that the company is delaying its foldable iPhone project until a more durable and reliable display technology is developed. This development suggests that Apple’s roadmap for 2024 and 2025 will not include foldable iPhone models.
Foldable phones have been one of the most striking innovations in the world of technology in recent years. However, the difficulties faced by this technology in practice cause an innovative and quality-oriented company like Apple to act more cautiously in this field. Apple’s future plans and developments on this subject will be closely followed by the technology world.
