Will the iPhone foldable come in the future?

Folded phones may not be the best sellers in the current period, but they are the undisputed thing that attracts most attention. Not only because people long for the days of folded phones, but also because it is considered the product that carries the greatest amount of innovation and innovation in a market that is tired of the monotony of improving cameras and the speed of processors, the use of which will not be noticed by the user until after years of use and updates. And the interesting thing here, despite the annual rumors, is that Apple has been staying outside the arena of entirely new features since its introduction of the Air-iPod several years ago. Is the reason ...?

Slow?

One of the most common arguments mentioned in the discussions about Apple's delay in introducing folded screens is that the company waits until the technology is fully ready and then Tim Cook comes and introduces the new folded iPhone after the technology developed and reached adulthood. Perhaps this was absolutely true two or three years ago. But now the situation is different.

Apple fruit ripens in its own garden

Meaning, the company does not usually wait for the market to develop similar technologies. Because she will want to make her own anyway. Naturally, it will be significantly different from what is available in the market. What brings us to the next point is that the company has been testing technologies to make foldable phones a reality for a long time already. If the trillion-dollar company that owns a battalion of the world's best engineers wanted to accelerate development, it would have done it easily.

The knuckle dilemma

One of the fun things about foldable phones is that they add different challenges for companies than usual. The biggest challenge is not the quality of the camera and the small edges of the screen. It is a complete design of the phone that needs to reimagine the shape of the phone again. And one of the biggest challenges is designing the folding joint. Where it must be strong and withstand opening and closing, thin that allows easy opening but steady in its sliding, preferably hidden from view (and dust) as much as possible, and do not forget that the feeling of using it is excellent, this is one of the basics. No one has yet been able to create a hinge with these specifications but, can't Apple do it?

Apple is a company known for its passion for doing what is called (over-engineering) its devices, that is, engineering them with infinite precision and making new details and innovations even in making things that have been on the market for years without anyone thinking of changing them. One of the best examples is the Mac Pro, whether of the current or previous generation. They are different from every desktop computer in every way. The former was a professional device in a small cylindrical shape and completely different on the inside from anything I've seen. The new Mac Pro does not differ in the idea, as the company has re-designed the device as it was not previously seen from the outside and even the smallest details on the motherboard, which the user will not even see.

If there is ever a company that can overcome the knuckle dilemma, it is Apple.

And don't forget about apps

One of the biggest drawbacks of current foldable phones is application integrity. If a company wants to make a phone that opens so that its screen size is similar to tablets, as Samsung did, it is developing some of its applications to integrate with the new look. But most Android Store apps don't. So the user settles in the best conditions to use the Android version of the tablet on the big screen. We know, of course, that Android tablet apps are not as good as those for iOS.

In the case of Apple, most applications already support the large iPad screen with real support in a version that differs in many cases from the iPhone. Apple has also played the game by supporting developers and encouraging (and sometimes forcing) them to adopt something new. So it is simply possible that you will issue new directives to developers that contain everything they need to make great apps that take full advantage of the variable screen size.

the real reason? That the current iPhone is (working)

Apple is famous for the phrase it uses to praise its products, which is that it (simply works) or, as the expression in English, it is (just works) in the sense that it performs the required function of it in the simplest and perfect way. Of course, this is true for the user and it is true for Apple as well. The current iPhone works great for the company. It generates required profits annually and keeps investors happy. Also, users are not eager to change and purchase existing phones. So why would the company cut a profit well or reduce its return before it dries up?
