There have been a lot of whispers in recent months that Apple is hard at work on a new type of iPhone that is unlike anything it has launched before. This huge upgrade might feature a collapsible design that will allow the aluminum chassis to fold in half, making it much easier for a giant screen to squeeze into those very skinny jeans.
Of course, foldable phones aren’t anything new with companies such as Samsung leading the way when it comes to devices with flexible displays.
However, if Apple releases a foldable iPhone, the company is sure to generate a lot of hype around the technology and if it looks as good as some recent concepts posted online, all Android makers might feel more than one. little worried regarding the future.
The latest images are courtesy of the designer Anthony Rose who posted a series of photos showing exactly what the foldable iPhone Air might look like. This new smartphone has an elegant appearance with very thin edges and a clamshell cover that flips over to make it more user-friendly when owners are not using it.
There’s also a triple camera on the rear case and a small screen will show notifications without the need to open the device every time a call or text is made.
When the user wants a full-screen experience, they simply open the case to see an extended OLED display.
Rosa also speculates that the iPhone Air will be waterproof and feature a completely portless case, meaning it can only be charged wirelessly.
It looks gorgeous, but unfortunately these are just concept renders for now and it’s unclear when, or even if, Apple will actually launch its first foldable phone.
While a flexible device may not be coming this year, one thing that’s a bit more certain is that Apple may be hosting an event next month where the American tech company is expected to reveal new budget iPhone SE device.
Mark Gurman, who has a good Apple publishing background, revealed that an event is planned at the Californian company for early March with a low-cost smartphone that should be at the top of the agenda. .
In a Bloomberg post, Gurman revealed that Apple is planning a big reveal around Tuesday, March 8 — just a month away.
The new iPhone SE is believed to feature improved cameras, have more power under the hood thanks to a better processor, and bring 5G data speeds to this entry-level phone for the very first time.
