Foldable smartphones are still far too expensive to be enjoyed by a wider range of technology enthusiasts. However, it is expected that in a few years even the proverbial Kowalski will be able to afford them. However, it will probably be different in the case of folded iPhones, which has been rumored for several months. Last November, we learned that Apple commissioned Foxconn to test components for the production of a foldable iPhone. Even then it was known that Foxconn would be responsible for the production of “folding”. Today, sources close to the Grower’s supply chains report that Foxconn has successfully tested two variants of a folded smartphone with a bitten apple on the housing.

Among the two aforementioned concepts, there are constructions resembling the Motorola Razr model (i.e. folded in the fashion of old flip phones), and the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold model (folded like a book). Ultimately, Foxconn’s tests were to be successful for both prototypes. However, it is important to know that the tests were only endurance tests, so constructions made up only of a housing with a flexible screen, without additional components.

It was said a few months ago that Apple’s foldable constructions would be based on OLED / micro LED screens. It is still not known, however, whether it will be a truly flexible display, especially since the well-known leakster Jon Prosser stated several weeks ago that the folded iPhone will receive not one, but two screens. The rift, however, is to be imperceptible. When will we find out if Prosser is right? Currently, it is estimated that foldable iPhones will appear at the turn of 2022 and 2023 of this year. Would you prefer an Apple iPhone with a Motorola Razr design or a Samsung Glaaxy Z Fold? Or maybe the folded iPhone is in your opinion a completely wrong idea?
