Internal sources indicate that Apple has initiated discussions with Asian suppliers to tailor components for its innovative foldable iPhone product. The device features a distinctive folding mechanism, allowing users to open and close the screen by flipping it horizontally. This design concept draws inspiration from Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip, which was released in 2020 and gained widespread recognition for its unique folding mechanism and portability. With Apple's entry into the market, there is likely to be a new wave of competition and innovation in the foldable smartphone sector.
