According to the outlet, Samsung and LG, two leading makers of flexible display panels, sent their samples to Apple in late 2023. These, however, were smaller and measured between 6 and 8 inches, leading to speculation that Apple could even be evaluating two different form factors or devices with foldable displays.
The report cites industry sources that believe Samsung is already in the advanced stages of nabbing the deal to make foldable displays for Apple. Samsung, notably, is the leading supplier of the iPhone 15 series displays.
The report also speculates that a much larger iPad Pro with a 20-inch foldable display will launch after the smaller device. It is also expected that Apple’s first foldable may coincide with the 20th anniversary of the iPhone in 2027. Despite these speculations, it is essential to reiterate that there is no evidence to prove the existence of any working prototypes.
