Reports keep surfacing that Apple is developing a foldable iPhone. Now there are new details regarding the development.
According to a new report, Apple has commissioned LG Display to develop a display panel intended for a foldable iPhone. Until now, the talk has been about Samsung's folding technology, which is why the new publication is somewhat surprising. Citing industry sources claimed DigiTimes reported that LG Display is helping Apple develop a foldable OLED display panel for an iPhone. However, it is not clear whether LG Display will supply Apple with this panel for mass production once it is developed.
Foldable iPhone: It could launch in 2023
Samsung is rumored to be Apple's preferred supplier for a foldable OLED display. The company is said to have provided Apple with a large number of foldable display samples for testing last year, so it is unclear how the news of a collaboration with LG fits into this context. Cupertino has so far used both LG and Samsung OLED displays for the iPhone. So it is of course possible that Apple will also use both suppliers for the foldable device. Only yesterday it was reported reported, according to which the model could have a display of around 7 inches and offer Apple Pencil support. According to current information, a presentation is planned for the end of 2023. The first rumors about such a model were documented as early as 2016. Apple's work on such a device was indirectly confirmed due to some patents. If the rumor mill is to be believed, such an iPhone model is becoming increasingly likely.
