It was only a matter of time, after seeing the relative-success of the Galaxy Z line of products. A new report from Apple analyst
Ming-Chi Kuo states that Apple is currently working on the development of a foldable iPhone that will launch sometime in 2023.
The device is said to have an 8-inch QHD+ flexible OLED display, with SDC as the display supplier and Samsung Founder as the DDI foundry provider. For the unaware, DDI is short for Digital Display Interface, and allows for “immersive visual experiences while using low power”.
Kuo also stated that Apple plans on shipping between 15 and 20 million units in 2023, suggesting that Apple is going “all-in” on the new design. Compared to the estimated 800,000 Galaxy Z Fold 2 units that Samsung shipped in 2020, there is a definitely a stark contrast here.
