Experts believe that Samsung and LG are working on developing a 20.25-inch foldable display for Apple's future foldable device. Know what experts say about the innovation.

Apple iPhone or iPad foldables coming soon?

According to The Elec report, Samsung Display and LG Display are currently developing a 20.25-inch display for an Apple foldable. It is rumored that Apple is planning to enter the foldable market with its iPhone or iPad foldable in the near future.

The report added that Apple is one of the most important customers of Samsung Display for OLED panels. Additionally, the company has also mastered creating foldable displays for its parent company Samsung. 9To5Mac has reported that Apple is looking for a “new growth engine” and entering the foldable market would help the company achieve their future goals for their premium brand. Therefore, Samsung from its own foldable development experience through the Galaxy Z Fold and Flip series, will help Apple to create a new line of foldable devices.

That also means the chances of anything going wrong with an Apple foldable are almost fully reduced or even negligible.

Not sure which
mobile to buy?

Apart from Samsung, LG Display is also hard at work on developing foldable displays for Apple.

With this move, Samsung Display hopes to secure exclusive rights to manufacture foldable displays for Apple, leaving competitors like LG Display behind in the race. According to display analyst Ross Young, we will not see Apple foldable until 2025 or even later. Young also specifies the claims of Apple developing a display for foldable notebooks.

Now, the most interesting thing about an Apple foldable would be the competition it will provide to other brands including Samsung, which has produced five generations of Fold and Flip smartphones and now the company is also developing the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6.
