Apple is developing an innovative foldable iPhone that may resemble the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip. The company is already working with Asian suppliers on components for this revolutionary device.
Foldable iPhone
New era of Apple smartphones
Apple has started work on creating a foldable iPhone. In recent months, the technology giant has turned to its partners in Asia with a request to manufacture parts for this innovative device. This information was released by The Information, citing two people familiar with the matter.
Future Design
According to sources, the new iPhone will have a design that folds across the width, similar to a clamshell phone. This design will resemble the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip, which appeared on the market in 2020.
Project V68
Apple recently gave this foldable device the internal code name V68. This indicates that the project has moved beyond the conceptual phase and is now officially being developed in cooperation with suppliers.
Development Challenges
Typically, the full production cycle of standard iPhone models takes about 24 months. However, the development of a foldable iPhone may take longer, given that the technology of flexible screens is still considered relatively new.
Production prospects
As previously reported by ELBUZ, mass production of the foldable iPhone may begin in 2023. However, it is worth noting that Apple has repeatedly stopped projects in the later stages of development, as happened, for example, with the unmanned electric car Project Titan. Therefore, there are no guarantees that such an iPhone will actually appear on the market.
Design Revolution
If the corporation does release this product, it will be one of the most significant changes in hardware design for the entire history of the iPhone.

Wow, finally Apple decided to experiment with the form! 📱 I wonder if they can surpass Samsung in this direction?
Hans
I'm sure Apple will do something unique. They always surprise with their innovations. Maybe they will add some special feature that will change the way we think about sophisticated smartphones 🤔
Marie
Oleksandra, Hans, would you buy such an iPhone? I personally am not sure that I need a foldable phone, but it sounds interesting! 🤷♀️
Javier
Marie, I would give it a try! Imagine how convenient it is to carry a large screen in your pocket. And it can also open up new opportunities for photography and videography 📸
Giovanni
Phew, those fancy things again. Why break what works? A regular iPhone is fine. These sophisticated phones are just the wishful thinking of marketers.
Anna
Giovanni, don't be such a pessimist! 😄 Innovation drives progress. Who knows, maybe this folding iPhone will be the beginning of a new era of smartphones?
Kamil
Anna is right! I'm all for trying something new. In addition, Apple always pays attention to details, so I'm sure they will take into account all the shortcomings of previous complex models 👍
Oleksandra
I wonder how this will affect the price? 💸 Apple is not one of the cheap brands anyway, and there is also a new technology here. But I would still like to see the result!
