iPhone folding screen concept map exposed, netizens say this design cannot beat domestic products

Leaked iPhone Folding Screen Concept Map Netizens Criticize Design Unable to Match Domestic Products

【Mobile China News】As we enter 2023, with the continuous maturity of supply chain technology, more and more mobile phone manufacturers are starting to release their own foldable screen phones. However, Apple, as the global leader in the mobile phone industry, has remained unmoved and has yet to bring its first foldable screen phone. Although there is no official news, many people have been hoping for Apple to launch a foldable screen iPhone. Recently, some media outlets have released their latest concept image of the iPhone Fold.

From the leaked image, it can be seen that the iPhone Fold is mainly based on the design of the latest iPhone 15 Pro series. It adopts the concept of a small folding screen, which seems to be a folding modification of the iPhone 15 Pro Max in the middle, allowing for vertical folding. In addition, the common secondary screen seen on small folding screen phones also appears on the iPhone Fold, located on the right side of the back camera module. However, due to the large area of the camera module, the display area of the secondary screen appears to be very limited, mainly used to display time, weather, and other information. When unfolded, the front screen of the phone is basically the same as the iPhone 15 Pro Max, with the same dynamic island design. Moreover, the fold on the screen in the concept image is very shallow, almost invisible.

After seeing the concept image, some netizens expressed that if the design is indeed like this, it may be difficult to compete with domestic mobile phone manufacturers. Considering that foldable screen phones have more complex internal structures compared to straight screen phones, as they need to accommodate hinge and folding mechanisms, if this is the case, there may be compromises in terms of heat dissipation and battery, which would have a significant impact on the iPhone. However, considering Apple’s strong industrial design capabilities, whenever they enter a new field, they often bring industry-leading designs and technologies. Therefore, if one day Apple indeed launches a foldable screen device, it should not be as simple as a “modded” straight screen iPhone.
