Foldable iPhone model inspired by Galaxy Z Flip 3
The device was featured in a video and was named the iPhone Air. As for the appearance of the device, the designer explains that it has a foldable internal screen and is water resistant. In addition, it does not have the Lightning connection, which until then is the standard used by Apple. Therefore, the smartphone would be recharged via MagSafe.
iPhone Air visual details
The iPhone Air's visual details include a main set with 3 cameras on the outside, alongside a smaller screen that would serve to capture selfies. In this sense, the front camera and Face ID sensors are located in two holes on the internal screen, with one in the form of a pill and the other in a circular shape.
In addition, the video also informs that the smartphone would have an Apple M1 chip and would be available in graphite, green, gold and pink colors. Anyway, the model, which is not official, was based on internal industry sources in this area and, according to them, Apple's first foldable device should be launched in 2022 or 2023.
Sales Expectations for the Foldable iPhone
When Apple finally releases a foldable version of the iPhone, sales are expected to reach between 15 and 20 million units within a year. Currently, Samsung stands out in the global flexible display phone market and sells approximately 1 million foldable smartphones per year.
There are several rumors that Apple has already tested prototypes of this type of device. Furthermore, some patents indicate that the company is already working on technologies that make it possible for the folding of the flexible screen not to intensify the wear and tear of the display. In addition, it has also invested in making screens recover from risks on their own.
Anyway, the foldable iPhone is one of the most anticipated devices of recent times. For this reason, Apple should move the technology market with this innovation for its customers in the near future.
