One more year and we continue to tell you the best of Apple and the iPhone, in particular we won’t give up or abandon the subject of the foldable iPhone. At the beginning of 2022, we summarized in this article what we knew about it. We also saw amazing concepts like this, today we will update recent information and show you some interesting concept by Apple Insider.
Current rumors from the early days of 2023 about a foldable iPhone
Between rumors and some patents that have been seen on the web, It’s clear to us that Apple is working on a new iPhone design that can bend. It might look like a Galaxy Fold or Flip but the reality is that no one knows which design Apple will adopt.
Whether it’s for the little profit that Apple can get from the component qualityfinally current supply chainsetc, there is no probable presentation date yet. Every year the scheduled date is delayed. In 2021, Ming-Chi Kuo said it would be until 2024. Korean media The Elec says around 2025 or until 2026.
The the insistence on users has reached the point that in China they created the first foldable iPhone. Which path will Apple take? At the moment it is known that they are testing the form factors. Those of Cupertino are too patient to launch a product. Until they find the right one, the operation of the foldable iPhone will not continue.

The most difficult problem to solve will be the creased screen and software optimization in second place. On the one hand, it has been shown that after a certain time the screens suffer a loss of quality of their material, even of the image itself. It will all be a matter of knowing how to wait and launch at the right time.
more problems to solve
What Apple continues to research and work on, Have you ever wondered what are the most common or worrisome failures to solve in bends? This ranges from the hinges that allow for folding, to the screen technology that resides primarily in OLED, and to the accommodation of the components themselves that the iPhone will have in the future.
Thinking about the current design of the iPhone, what would Apple do with the camera module of the iPhone Pro? How would Apple accept Face ID if it had to comply? They are doubts that no matter how long we spend, how Apple will solve them, it is better to take advantage of what they offer us at the moment.
Apple Insider’s proposal

Their concept is so 2023 that they were based on the current iPhone Pro. Initial features would be USB-C with MagSafe and at least have Touch ID. It makes perfect sense to think that Apple should include Touch ID to use the iPhone when it’s compressed.
They hope the foldable iPhone can be opened and closed without having a single crease or seam. The thickness should be a bit more than the current iPhone. Unfolded, it could be imagined as a smaller iPad mini. As for the system, the dilemma is completely great since it can be iOS or iPadOS. Will we finally have Split View?
Foldable iPhone, how it should be by AppleInsider
The situation is totally strange since the concepts are the only ones that bring us closer to a possible reality of a foldable iPhone. If it is not launched in the coming years, setting a target of 2025, it will be time to discard it if there is no rumor or fully verifiable weight report. As well it may be an internal device that will never see the light of day even during a presentation.
