Fresh Apple Leak Unveils iPhone Folding Design Schemes
As Samsung and Apple prep for the arrival of ultra-slim smartphones, Apple is also reportedly working on its first foldable device – the iPhone Fold. This innovative gadget has come in various shapes based on leaks and rumors over the years, with speculations ranging from a foldable iPad to a flip phone similar to Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip line. The latest leak, from Digital Chat Station, hints at a book-shaped device with a 5.49-inch cover display and a 7.74-inch inner screen. This size is smaller than the Galaxy Z Fold 6 but similar to the original Google Pixel Fold (when unfolded).
Apple's choice of a book-shaped iPhone Fold makes sense, as it differentiates the device from its current lineup. This unique shape also provides an opportunity for Apple to expand its Pro range with higher specifications, a higher price point, and consequently, higher margins.
Typically, Apple tends to create sleeker and slimmer designs, and while the foldable phone concept may present some challenges, it's not surprising to see Apple striving for a smaller size. Oppo's new Find N5 currently holds the title for the slimmest foldable phone with a thickness of 8.93mm, further demonstrating the design principle that Apple values.
As for the iPhone Fold's hinge and display technology, Apple is reportedly collaborating with Lens Technology to manufacture its ultra-thin glass, which is similar to the glass used in all flexible handsets. For the hinge, Apple is attempting to achieve a design that eliminates visible creases when the device is unfolded, similar to the improvements in creases observed in current flexible devices.
So far, the foldable phone market is still in its infancy, with manufacturers still grappling with durability issues. Apple's innovative approach to the foldable iPhone is showing promising signs, as the company is reportedly working on improving the flexibility and durability of the device to better meet consumer expectations. However, it's important to note that these are still speculations and developments could change as Apple moves closer to launching its first foldable phone.
