apple usually keeps silent about new products until the day of their announcement, but occasionally, information leaks online. such information is provided by both insiders and major brands. for example, samsung executives recently indirectly mentioned a foldable iphone.
lee jung, the president of samsung display, revealed at a press conference that the company is already producing foldable oled panels for a north american customer. this customer is almost certainly apple, and the first foldable device under the iphone brand is expected to be announced as early as next year.
according to industry media, apple delayed its entry into the foldable device market because the polishing process of a prototype with noticeable "wrinkles" on the display took too long. rumors suggest that apple eventually lowered its standards and gave up on this ambitious project. therefore, there are no more obstacles to releasing a device with more realistic specifications.
