After years of launching foldable phones, many are wondering regarding Apple’s position on these phones, and when will we see foldable iPhones? But given that sales of Samsung’s foldable phones, the Z Flip and the Z Fold, are still below expectations, and they haven’t sold as much as the Galaxy S series, Apple may be reassured that foldable phones won’t be as successful.
Mid-range phones are still Samsung’s best seller, while Apple controls the surveillance phone market by a large margin.
Apple does not tend to imitate
Since Steve Jobs introduced the first iPhone in 2007, Apple has captured a market where it had absolutely no prior experience. Some describe this success as the dream of every tech company, and they are probably right. Over the years, Apple was not inclined to imitate the other successful company in the market, but was distinguished by its own exclusive product, and this is what made it firmly established in the market, and perhaps this is what stopped it so far from moving on to make a foldable phone.
Apple’s smartphone lineup is under no threat
Despite the great improvements made by competing companies, led by Samsung, Apple’s sales are still trending up, and this is what makes them wait and think a lot before entering into a new adventure such as producing foldable phones that may not achieve the desired success.
Apple does not trust foldable phones
All foldable phones produced so far come with various drawbacks such as high price, short battery life, and less efficient cameras. Especially when typing, using gestures, swiping, and playing games, according to the iPhone Arena website.
