Apple's Foldable iPhone: Aims to CRUSH the Competition?
The news about Apple developing a foldable iPhone has been circulating for a long time. According to the latest reports from foreign media, the foldable iPhone will surpass all other foldable phones on the market in terms of technology, and Apple has high hopes for its sales, hoping to far surpass its competitors.
Like many iPhone series, Apple's foldable screen phones will use the screen panel provided by Samsung Display. Due to an exclusive supply agreement between Apple and Samsung, LG Display will not provide panels for this phone. This decision is reasonable, as it is expected that this foldable iPhone will be designed similarly to Samsung's Galaxy Fold series phones, and Samsung's experience in this field will undoubtedly play an important role.
Foreign media pointed out that this phone will surpass other foldable phones on the market, which may be reflected in two aspects: first, the screen is more durable and difficult to break; Secondly, the crease treatment is more excellent and almost imperceptible. However, foreign media believes that the annual production target set by Apple -15 million to 20 million units - may be too optimistic.
Looking back at history, Apple had high sales expectations for the Apple Vision Pro, but the actual results were not satisfactory. Vision Pro even struggles to find its main target market - enterprise customers. Similarly, the Galaxy Fold series phones that have already been launched have not met Samsung's expected sales figures. The production plan for the next generation Fold and Flip phones has been significantly reduced to about 5 million units, while the previous production plan was even lower than 10 million units. Due to the immaturity of the foldable screen mobile phone market, these phones have not been fully sold out.
Apple is confident in the development of its foldable iPhone, but this may also mean that Apple has once again overestimated consumers' willingness to purchase trendy products. It is expected that the production of foldable iPhone will begin in 2026, and its release in the same year is almost certain. It is still uncertain whether Apple can impress everyone with a truly unique foldable phone and meet its sales expectations. Another possibility is that when Apple's foldable iPhone was introduced, the next generation of Fold phones had already surpassed it in technology.
