There's nothing really wrong with the iPhone's existing design. In fact, it's possible to argue that it's almost flawless at this moment. Sure, there's the obnoxious notch at the top of the screen, which, while I initially thought it would be an eyesore when Apple originally unveiled the iPhone X, has since faded into the background. Apple, on the other hand, did not get at its current position by resting on its laurels. Apple designers, on the other hand, are always striving to come up with fresh ideas, and the next big thing from Cupertino might be a foldable iPhone, also known as an iPhone Flip.
Over the last few years, it's been clear that Apple is seriously considering developing a foldable iPhone. For starters, we've seen multiple patents that describe a gadget that looks like an iPhone Flip. Second, reliable reports claim that Apple is already working on functioning prototypes. If you're interested in learning more about what a foldable iPhone may bring to the table, we've compiled a list of the most credible iPhone Flip rumors.
Two iPhone Flip prototypes exist.
Apple is working on two iPhone Flip prototypes, according to a report from the Economic Daily News from a little over a year ago. According to reports, the initial prototype consists of two vertical panels joined by a hinge. Like a book, this design would open and close.
In 2020, famous Apple leaker Jon Prosser stated that this design does not include a notch. Instead, a little forehead sits above the display, housing Face ID and other sensors.
"Even though they're two different screens," Prosser adds, "it seems quite continuous and seamless when the displays are stretched."
The second iPhone Flip prototype resembles the Galaxy Z Flip design more closely. To put it another way, imagine a tall iPhone that folds in half in the middle. Prosser recently stated that Apple is "leaning significantly" in favor of this particular design.
Specifications are yet unknown.
It's difficult enough to figure out specs for new iPhone models that we already know about. It's nearly hard to obtain technical specifications for a product that may never be released.
Over the last two years, a few tiny iPhone Flip speculations have surfaced. According to reliable sources, we may expect to see an iPhone Flip with an OLED display and a range of color options. We've also heard reports that the gadget would have a large display that will outshine the Galaxy Z Flip.
According to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the tablet would have an 8-inch display with a 3200 x 1800 resolution.
Given the scarcity of information, we thought we'd share several iPhone Flip idea designs that have surfaced in recent months. While it's hard to predict exactly how the final design will turn out, these ideas are fascinating.
