The insider Jon Prosser has revealed new details about Apple’s secret work on a foldable smartphone. The prototype, therefore, looks like an iPhone 11 and – surprise – is not really “foldable”.
While other manufacturers have already launched the first devices that are foldable, Apple has not announced anything yet. However, such a device is being worked on at the Apple Campus.
The foldable iPhone will have two separate display panels and a hinge
“The foldable iPhone from Apple is not really a foldable iPhone” the well-known Apple Leaker now writes on Twitter after he has received new information about it. Apple has actually packed two separate displays together. It would be more like an iPhone with a dual-screen. This is not that stupid, even if it sounds strange at first: The transition between the displays is what ultimately has to make the device appear as one.
If Apple succeeds in concealing the “meeting point” of the displays, the company would have at least solved a major stability problem in which the competition still fails. At Samsung Fold, for example, the folding display has a limited lifespan. Samsung says 200,000 folds, but you can clearly see the fold after a few opening and closing processes.
