Apple continues to actively explore foldable smartphones. This was reported by The Information publication, Day.Az reports with reference to Lenta.ru.
According to media sources, the company has been developing the first foldable iPhone since 2018, although they have not commented on the work on the smartphone. Apple engineers have created at least two prototypes, each of which has a clamshell form factor.
According to data disclosed by insiders, the IT giant recently interacted with manufacturers from Asia to supply components for foldable devices. However, the authors of The Information noted that the company may cancel the project if the quality of the devices does not suit Apple executives.
It is clarified that engineers are developing a smartphone that would be twice as thin as the current iPhone models – so that when folded it will not be too large. Insiders also found out that Apple completed the foldable iPhone project in 2020, but canceled it due to the low quality of the device. Currently, the corporation’s specialists are focused on developing the first folding tablet.
