Samsung last week unveiled its Galaxy Fold, which is a foldable smartphone, many people got excited about the idea while many of them look at it as just a cool novelty that will fade with the time, and many people will deny to shell out almost $2.000 to put that bulky device in their pocket, but for those who want to see an Apple foldable smartphone, at least at this point of time, no concrete evidence to about to happen.
Samsung invested many times and efforts to come out with this flexible display, delivering it to Apple it could be unexpectable.
To bring in the idea closer to the Apple customers on how a foldable iPhone could look like, Foldable News asked a Dutch industrial designer Roy Gilsing to render a folding iPhone concept, regardless of real-world constraints.
Gilsing's design keeps the Galaxy Fold essential elements, making the main display on the inside with punch-hole camera in the screen, and almost edge-to-edge display on the front with a notch like we found in the iPhone X generation.
The device switches seamlessly between iPhone and iPad-mode. It can be used in both portrait and landscape and allows a partial fold, turning it into a mini-notebook with a touchscreen keyboard.It might be the most exciting feature in the concept when you can partially fold the device to use the down part as an independent keyboard.
Apple has registered more than one patent related to the display flexibility either for a smartphone or Apple watch, and it has, it might live up to the collaboration with LG, a report claimed that two companies started exploring a foldable iPhone back in 2016.
All that hints that Apple is working on a flexible device like a Galaxy Fold smartphone or something else, if it certainly has a plan to introduce a foldable device, it will take Apple at least two years from now to come out with such as device, if we extrapolate the reality.
