In a January 10 post on Medium, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said that a foldable iPhone will enter mass production this year.
I’ve long been skeptical that Apple would release an “iPhone Fold” because of technical problems. As noted by Screenrant, foldable screens are difficult to produce, have “wrinkes,” and the hinges are prone to failure. However, a new report says that Apple has found a way to overcome such problems.
According to ET News, the tech giant is working with its manufacturing partners to “differentiate itself from the existing foldable phone, Apple decided to eliminate wrinkles regardless of price.”
“The folds are closely related not only to the display material and parts, but also to the hinges that enter the smartphone body. It is said that cooperation between related companies was promoted by being connected organically,” according to ET News. “In particular, the cover glass and hinge attached to the top of the display are considered to be the key parts that differentiate the performance of foldable phones, and Apple has overcome this.”
