According to an Economic Daily report, Apple is currently working towards expanding and popularizing foldable products and has plans for an iPhone or iPad folding solution to be released by 2025.
Samsung And Huawei Are Market Leaders
Market research data shows that Samsung and Huawei collectively account for more than 80% of folding screen devices globally, showing their dominance in this industry.
Apple's Debut of VR and Foldable Devices
Apple's entry into VR with their Vision Pro headset has generated great interest, suggesting a positive trajectory for this product category. Analysts predict that Apple could disrupt existing players with its debut of foldable iPhone or iPad models that revolutionise markets like VR.
ITHome reports that Apple's iPhone business is showing signs of vulnerability due to competition from foldable phones from Samsung and Huawei, prompting Apple to explore opportunities in this sector of the market. Unfortunately, however, Apple's commitment to user experience may delay product releases for some time as the company strives to meet high user expectations.
Apple is said to have invested significantly in foldable technology over time. A recent report from The Information noted Apple's efforts on two flip-style iPhone prototypes with plans to develop an external display foldable iPhone featuring external displays; yet challenges still persist when it comes to protecting delicate panels from damage during foldability technology development; nonetheless Apple hopes to design foldable handsets as slim as its current models and is also developing foldable iPad models.
