‘Foldable iPhone has Apple Pencil support’
The claims have been brought into the world by Omdia. This company researches technology companies and provides investors with advice. The research firm claims that Apple will release the long-awaited foldable iPhone in 2023.
The device would get an OLED screen of at least 7.3 inches. If so, the foldable iPhone is almost the same size as the iPad mini. Apple’s smallest tablet has a screen diagonal of 7.9 inches.
Furthermore, Omdia claims that the Apple phone can handle the Apple Pencil. Currently you can only use this pin on the iPad. Finally, Omdia claims that the screen of the foldable iPhone is supplied by Samsung. This company is a large supplier of displays and frequently collaborates with competitors, including Apple.
Omdia is not a well-known name in the world of Apple rumors. Some skepticism is therefore warranted. On the more positive side, it is far from the first time that a rumor about the possible introduction of a foldable iPhone has come out.
Rumors about the foldable iPhone
Behind the scenes, Apple seems to have been working on such a device for years. The claim that this future iPhone has Apple Pencil support is also not strange. The iPad mini tablet, which is expected to be about the same size, has been able to handle Apple’s stylus since 2019.
What the foldable iPhone will look like is still unclear. A rumor recently emerged that Apple is currently testing two prototypes. One would consist of two screens that you can fold open, like Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 2 phone. The other prototype would be a folding phone, modeled on the Motorola Razr.
Apple journalist Jon Prosser recently reported that the company mainly sees profit in a folding iPhone, the second option. According to the insider, who in the past, for example, correctly predicted the release date of the renewed iPhone SE, Apple would even have scrapped the foldable iPhone.
