Foldable iPhone fans, some promising news – a big Apple supplier is reportedly ramping up development of foldable displays, specifically for Cupertino.
According to The Elec, Samsung Display has bulked up teams that work on foldable screens. And their “A Business Team” that handles Apple orders is now working on foldable products.
This suggests Apple may have instructed Samsung to start prepping foldable displays for a future iPhone launch. Exciting if true!
Rumors of a folding iPhone have bubbled up for years now, along with talk of a 20-inch foldable iPad. The report says Samsung and LG are both cooking up foldable panels aimed at Apple.
But let’s temper expectations – there’s still no guarantee a foldable iPhone is coming for real. Apple has yet to launch any folding devices and it’s unclear if they ever will.
Apple likes to wait until tech is truly ready before diving in. Given problems early folding phones saw, no shock the cautious approach.
Maybe these reports do signal folding iPhone production is finally gearing up. But Apple works in mysterious ways, so don’t get too hyped just yet.
I’d love a foldable iPhone as much as anyone. But Apple will only do it when the time is right. Still, ramped up supply chain activity seems promising.
