Apple is scheduled to launch a new iPhone series in the fall event next month. Rumors strongly indicate this will be the iPhone 13 lineup. Fanboys may have held their hopes high to see the announcement of a foldable iPhone, but that’s not going to transpire anytime soon. The Cupertino tech giant is still far from introducing something in this form factor. Even though its fiercest competitor Samsung has just ousted two new foldable phones: one each in Flip and Fold designs. Samsung unveiled its third-generation foldable smartphones at the recently concluded Galaxy Unpacked event this week. The duo – introduced alongside the Galaxy Watch 4 series and the Galaxy Buds 2 – includes the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and the Galaxy Z Flip 3. These are clearly the best foldable smartphones to bet your money on in the near future until maybe Apple can follow suit with a version of its own. Going by the past record, Apple has been a slow adopter of new innovations in hardware, but when it forays into the industry, there is no looking back. The stage is set for Apple to pull off what it does best. Samsung may be the uncrowned king in the foldable phone kingdom; Motorola and Huawei have shown some competition and OnePlus is teasing a possibility as well. In such a scenario, you’d as a fan expect Apple to step up on the gas. According to various insiders and industry experts, there have been varying claims on when the foldable iPhone will launch. There have been rumors of the phone making its debut as early as next year, but claim from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman (who has a sound record in Apple product predictions), the folding phone from Apple is not going to happen before the next two to three years. Now that’s not any one of us wants! Previous sales figures and Samsung’s resilience to deliver foldable devices year on year are clear indicators that the foldable smartphones have huge market potential. As the form of media consumption alters and on-the-go working becomes a bigger trend than before, having a tablet-esque screen in the pocket will have its own advantage.
