The idea behind the patent is the Flip's hinge will start to close mid-drop, and shift the balance of the phone and avoid having the screen hit the ground and being damaged. Interestingly a patent also suggests Apple could grant the iPhone Flip a measure of self-preservation should it ever be dropped.
This kind of screen wouldn't be as reactive as an LCD or OLED panel, but it would be great for keeping battery consumption low. Kuo has also said that Apple's thinking about using color e-ink displays for the exterior display on foldables. That would dwarf any foldable phone on the market right now. An 8-inch display would also be nearly as large as the 8.3-inch iPad mini.Ī different report claims Apple could be working with LG on a 7.5-inch OLED foldable display panel.īut that's not all - another report from Kuo says that Apple is testing a 9-inch display for a foldable. That would be larger than the Galaxy Z Fold 4, which offers a 7.6 inch display when it's opened up. Ming-Chi Kuo has claimed that the first foldable iPhone will have a huge display measuring 8 inches. Skepticism here is the healthiest outlook. Suffice to say, no one knows if or when an iPhone Flip will show up. However, a report from Ming-Chi Kuo states that a foldable iPhone may not arrive until 2025. Another analyst, Ben Wood, believes we will at least get a foldable iPad before then.
