Samsung enjoys great popularity with its fold smartphone range, especially the top ones, Galaxy Z Fold4 and Galaxy Z Flip4. We don't think it will be long until we have on the market the first iPhone Fold that Apple will launch.
Dozens of concepts have already appeared on the Internet about what the design of the first iPhone fold will look like, but it's a long way from imagination to something concrete. However, there are some clues through the sensor patents for fold phones, which Apple owns. More than that, a sketch that it seems to be "got rid of" with the future iPhone Fold.
Sketch with the first iPhone Fold
It is a rather rudimentary sketch, which does not offer many details, but from the rumors that have appeared since the beginning of 2023, Apple is getting closer to launching a range of fold devices.
About the possibility of a iPhone fold has been heard since 2020, when according to Chinese sources, Apple sent Foxconn and Nippon Nippon a request to build a foldable iPhone that can withstand at least 100,000 operations. At that time, Apple's plan provided that the product could be launched on the market at the end of 2022. The operations meant that the hinges of the future iPhone would withstand 100,000 openings and closings.
It was a pandemic, it was and is a semiconductor crisis, but at the beginning of this year (2023) there are more and more rumors that Apple is planning to launch a new iPhone model outside the usual range. This iPhone will have a much higher price than the one set in the last years by the company for the iPhone, iPhone Pro and Pro Max range.
It remains to be seen if this year Apple will give more clues about this new device. Until then, a change in the design of the future iPhone 15 is expected, which is likely to no longer follow the lines imposed on the iPhone 12 to the iPhone 14. It is expected that we will again have rounded edges and a dynamic island present on all iPhone 15 models.
