The Information news agency reports that Apple is developing a foldable screen phone. In the folding style, it is similar to the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip.

A report from The Information News Agency reveals that Apple still has unchanged ideas for developing foldable screen smartphones. Even though this time is the time to promote Apple Vision Pro.

According to an Information report, Apple has been developing two prototypes of a foldable iPhone since 2018. It has a folding feature similar to Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip.

Apple’s development of a foldable smartphone is unlikely any time soon, as the development of external screens has not come close to meeting Apple’s standards. As a result, the release of products at the mass level has not yet occurred.

The next problem is that the foldable iPhone design still has many limitations, especially in terms of the thinness of the device. The engineering team wants it to be as thin as the current iPhone (iPhone 15 is 7.8 mm thin, while the iPhone 15 Pro is 8.3 mm thin), but they haven’t been able to do so. Because there are problems with the battery and screen components.

The Information said that Apple has stopped developing a foldable iPhone since 2020 and instead switched to developing a foldable iPad. Its screen size is the same as the iPad mini, which is about 8 inches. Challenges in this area have been reported. The engineers wanted to reduce the crease that would appear in the middle of the display. When unfolding, the tablet’s hinge must be flat and flush with the floor.

If you look at The Information’s report, it can be seen that the project to develop a foldable iPad is likely to progress much faster than the development of a foldable iPhone. However, the development of an iPad with a screen Folded, still not drained. The earliest we’ll see this product available may not be until 2026 or 2027.

The Information concluded by saying: Entire projects can be canceled. If the final product doesn’t meet Apple’s standards,
