• According to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple's first foldable iPhone could feature a "futuristic" wraparound design inspired by Huawei's Mate X2 smartphone. Kuo suggests that Apple may adopt a similar outward-folding design, which would allow for a larger display area when the device is unfolded. This design could differentiate Apple's foldable from the more common inward-folding smartphones like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold.
• The report indicates that Apple's foldable iPhone may not arrive until 2025, later than some previous predictions. Kuo believes Apple will take a more cautious approach to the foldable market, waiting for the technology to mature and for user demand to increase before releasing its own version. This could allow Apple to avoid some of the early challenges faced by other foldable devices.
• The article notes that Apple has been granted several patents related to foldable device designs, suggesting the company has been actively researching and developing this form factor. However, the report suggests that Apple may initially target the high-end of the foldable market, potentially pricing its first foldable iPhone at a premium compared to competitors.
