To a lesser extent, Samsung has also marked the market trend. When he launched the Galaxy In 2011 with a 5.3 -inch screen, most manufacturers laughed at the idea of the Korean company, shortly after having followed the same path.
When he launched the first Plegable smartphone From the world, the Galaxy Fold has spent three quarters of the same and currently all the manufacturers, less Apple, offer such a model. Many are rumors linked to a folding iPhone, however, year after year, Apple continues to trust the classic life design.
And, for the moment, everything seems to indicate that the company led by Tim Cook does not plan to launch, at least soon, a folding iPhone. In fact, on the basis of the latest filtration, the first Apple folding device will be a laptop.
MacBook with touch screen and folding
According to Jeff Pu, GF Securities analyst, the first Apple folding device will work macos As an operating system, we can already exclude that it is an iPad or an iPhone, devices managed by iPados and iOS respectively.
This device will have an 18.8 -inch screen size and is described as a Hybrid between MacBook and iPad Since, in addition, he will have a touch screen And, as very soon, it will be launched on the market between the end of 2016 and the beginning of 2017.
That the MacBook incorporates a touch screen is one of the usual requirements of Apple users and that Cupertino boys have traditionally refused because it implies a Fusion between iPados and MacOSoperating systems designed for different interaction.
Regarding the folding iPhone, Jeff Pu declares that it will have a 7.8 -inch screen size, although it does not share any additional information or its possible release date, so everything seems to indicate that Tim Cook is not looking forward to adopting folding screens during his mandate.
The convergence between iPados and MacOS just at the corner of the street?
As we have commented, many are users who do not just understand the reason why Apple refuses that macOS can be available on iPads, because pro models integrate the same processor as some MacBookAnd with the current operating system, you cannot make the most of it.
Apple has invested resources in the creation of iPados so that you are not willing to forget it. What I could do is leave this operating system in basic iPads and give users to install MacOS adapted to the touch screen on Pro models.
