Apple’s anticipated foldable iPhone appears to be making tangible progress, with reports indicating that the tech giant will decide on a supplier for its foldable display by the end of this month or early April.
A foldable iPhone has been a subject of speculation and excitement among tech enthusiasts for years.
However, true to its nature, Apple has imposed stringent requirements on display manufacturers to ensure its entry into the foldable market aligns with its reputation for innovation and perfection.
The company is known for adopting new technologies at a measured pace, often prioritising refinement over early adoption. The foldable iPhone is expected to follow this pattern, with Apple keen to avoid risks and potential pitfalls.
Manufacturers are reportedly making significant strides towards meeting Apple’s high standards. Once the company finalises its choice of supplier, development on the foldable iPhone is expected to gain momentum.
Some industry insiders have suggested that Apple’s foldable device could see a release as early as 2025.
However, this timeline appears overly ambitious. Even a 2026 launch would be unexpected, with most analysts predicting that a foldable iPhone is unlikely to materialise before 2027.
While anticipation remains high, consumers may need to exercise patience before seeing Apple’s take on foldable technology come to fruition.
