Apple is slowing down. According to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the company is actively testing several devices with a foldable screen. But it takes some time before it can be bought.
Apple is actively testing a foldable mobile phone or tablet with a 9-inch screen, according to well-known analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.
The pixel density of the screen should be somewhere between the iPhone and the iPad, but the specifications may change. The modules currently being tested are said to exist to evaluate several key technologies.
For several years there has been speculation that Apple is developing devices with foldable screens. However, some actual products have been delayed even though competitors like Samsung and Huawei have had foldable phones on sale for several years.
I expected Apple to release a foldable iPhone by 2024 in my reporting last year, but it’s now clear that that prediction needs to be revised. I expect Apple to launch its first foldable product in 2025 at the earliest, which could be a foldable iPad or a mix of iPad and iPhone. https://t.co/HGIDPFvdar

Released later than expected
Ming-Chi Kuo previously speculated that Apple would release its first foldable device in 2024, but now estimates that it will happen in 2025 at the earliest.
Ming-Chi Kuo wrote on Twitter: “Probably the first to come out will be a “foldable iPad or an iPad-iPhone hybrid.”
He estimates that Apple will start with foldable screens of medium size, then switch to larger screens (such as heavy tablets) first to finally work with foldable screens the same size as current iPhones.
At the same time, a report comes from the site electricity Apple and LG are developing foldable OLED panels for computers and tablets. These panels should use an ultra-thin, foldable glass panel as protection rather than the protective plastic cover found on today’s foldable screens.
