Apple's foldable iPhone development suspended: supplier's screen failed to pass test

February 17 news, according to media reports, Apple has suspended the development of foldable iPhones after the supplier’s screen failed to pass Apple’s strict testing standards.

Previously, it was reported that Apple is developing at least two clamshell foldable iPhone prototypes, which adopt a vertical folding design and support hovering. When unfolded at a 90-degree angle, you can take pictures without a stand.

As early as 2018, Apple began to explore the folding screen iPhone project, but by around 2020, the project was shelved. Apple later turned its attention to researching an inward-folding iPad that would be about the same size as the iPad mini.

The device will have an approximately 8-inch screen, and foldable iPads have less stringent durability requirements than phones.

It is reported that Samsung’s latest folding panel “crashed after a few days” under Apple’s rigorous internal testing, causing Apple to shelve the entire project for the foreseeable future.

At present, the news of suspending the development of folding iPhone has not been officially confirmed by Apple.
