Previous rumors suggested that Apple would test the market with a foldable iPad before bringing this technology to the iPhone. However, Apple might have revised its plans due to challenges in the Chinese smartphone market and may first implement foldable screen technology in the iPhone.
According to 9to5Mac, using foldable phone technology in the iPhone poses a greater risk for Apple due to the iPhone’s broader user base and impact. Nonetheless, the importance of the Chinese market and increasing interest in foldable phones might prompt Apple to make swift moves in this area.
