Folding phones are cool in theory, but Apple is reportedly still working through the drawbacks.
Apple is less than a week from its big Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), during which it’s expected to announce updates to its iOS software for iPhones. But one thing we won’t be seeing is a foldable phone.
The tech giant’s been working on designs for foldable phones for years, filing patents and dreaming up ideas to take on devices made by Samsung, Motorola and even Google. But market analysts at TrendForce say Apple is unlikely to release a foldable phone before 2027.
In a report, written about earlier Monday by 9to5Mac, TrendForce said Apple is „still evaluating component specifications and performance, with strict requirements for crease and reliability.“
Apple representatives didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
