There has been a lot of talk about the possibility of Apple launching a foldable iPhone, especially considering that Samsung has already unveiled its sixth-generation foldable smartphones. But, technology proves Apple right: It has not yet been developed sufficiently and does not meet the company’s demands.

I have carefully read my colleague Christian Collado’s analysis of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 and from his conclusions we can clearly conclude that: Current technology cannot be in an Apple deviceAlthough the Galaxy Z Fold6 is one of the foldable smartphones in the world and its price is very high, Exceeds 2,000 euros.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 is here and Apple still hasn’t released a foldable iPhone

Years go by and foldable smartphones continue to suffer from the same problems

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6, despite being the main representative of folding smartphones, is still far from perfect despite its cost of over 2,000 euros. Christian stands out design improvementswhich makes it lighter and very well adapted software.

But there is also Problems that seem to repeat themselves every yearthese are the main cons of the device:

• Improvements not enough to justify price increase
• The screen fold is much more visible than rival alternatives
• Lack of development in camera system
• Mediocre autonomy

Beyond the issues with cameras or autonomy, it is something that is difficult to justify in a device of these dimensions and this price, The problem with folding smartphones continues precisely in folding the screenvery visible.

The inner display is equally good, with just a crease in the middle. It has the same qualities as the outer panel, but its flexible format results in a crease running vertically down the middle of the phone, which is easy to see and feel. It’s easy to get used to, but that doesn’t mean you’ll forget it’s there.

Now, There is no technology that would allow a foldable smartphone to have a completely smooth screen, without wrinkles or reflections.. Something that is always seen in the middle of the screen and something that Apple would not allow on any of its devices.

Technologies are being developed to reduce this wrinkling that occurs in folding smartphones. more flexible crystals more than normal, it will remain a “normal” screen when expanded. And I’m afraid we won’t see a foldable smartphone until such panels are available.

A recent report assures that Apple will launch the foldable iPhone in 2026, but it will not follow the design of the Samsung Fold. More similar to Flip models. But these are still just rumors. Apple could have already released a foldable iPhone, and if it hasn’t, there’s a reason for that. We’ll see if that changes in the near future and how Apple will approach such devices.
