As expected at the start of the year, several major manufacturers have unveiled their version of the foldable smartphone. Samsung got the ball rolling with itsGalaxy Fold, followed by Huawei withthe Dead X, morealso from Oppo.
Apple is never the first to adopt a new technology, the Apple firm prefers to wait to see if it can bring real added value to its products and users. But that doesn't preventSteve Wozniak on wanting Apple to release a foldable iPhoneas quickly as possible.
When the Cupertino company decides to take the plunge and adopt a new technology, it generally manages to offer a successful solution that is well integrated into the device and iOS. Plus, the result generally works better than competing solutions.
This is whySteve Wozniak, the co-founder of Apple, who is interested in these new flexible smartphones,wants Apple to release a foldable iPhoneas quickly as possible.
According to Wozniak, Apple has been the leader in several areas, such as Touch ID, Face ID, and easy payment with Apple Pay. He worries that Apple has not yet launched into the foldable smartphone.
So far, it appears there is mixed public reception to the first flexible smartphones, not just because of the high price, but also their questionable usability.
There is also the question of autonomy with such a large screen (in tablet mode) and premature wear of the screen from folding and unfolding it.
However, we know that Apple is studying the question of a foldable iPhone throughseveral patent filings.
