Bits of hearsay about a foldable iPhone have bubbled up previously, however another one has greater credibility. Reliable analyst Ming-Chi Kuo told investors that Apple plans to launch an 8-inch foldable iPhone by 2023 according to documents seen. The report, in light of an “industry survey,” predicts that Apple intends to sell 15-20 million units in 2023.
Kuo said as of now uncovered the chance of a folding iPhone in March, yet his most recent report has more detail on suppliers. It predicts that the QHD+ adaptable OLED will be provided by Samsung Display, while the DDI display controller will come from Samsung Foundry. It likewise noticed that Apple will utilize silver nanowire touch tech supplied by TPK, “because of its several advantages over [Samsung’s] Y-Octa technology.”
The report is highly speculative, so don’t fire setting something aside for an iPhone Fold or whatever right now. Be that as it may, different subtleties give it some extra credibility. Kuo expects Oppo, Vivo, Xiaomi and Honor to launch new foldable models in late 2021 or mid 2022, and shipments to increase to 17 million by 2022 if component shortages improve.
In the event that that occurs, foldable phones could turn into the “next innovative selling point of high-end models” as Kuo puts it. Around there, Apple would obviously need to be prepared with its own model. Notwithstanding, if shoppers don’t take to the devices like Kuo predicts, Apple could drop the project like a hot rock. At the end of the day, a great deal can occur in the following two years.
