Although the number of rumors about the foldable iPhone has decreased, rumors that Apple is working on prototypes of foldable devices continue to come. In September 2020, it was claimed that Samsung provided Apple with foldable screen samples for testing purposes, and there were also rumors that Apple was working with LG Display. These rumors created the expectation that the foldable iPhone could arrive soon. But judging by what screen analyst Ross Young has to say, expectations may need to be lowered.
FOLDING FORECAST FOR A FOLDABLE iPHONE
According to screen analyst Ross Young, Apple is not expected to introduce a foldable iPhone until 2023 at the earliest. Young cites 2024 as a more likely date for the foldable iPhone.
