Hello friends Apple has been rumored to be working on a foldable smartphone for a very long time, but nothing has turned into reality so far. Many rumors and concepts have surfaced over the years that suggest what Apple’s first foldable will be like. Will it be like Samsung Galaxy Flip or Fold? Now, Samsung has reportedly dropped a hint, saying that it expects Apple to launch its first foldable device in 2024 and it won’t be a phone. Apple may launch a foldable tablet instead.
According to the Korean publication The Alec, Samsung executives from the mobile division held talks with suppliers last month to discuss the smartphone market. One of the topics of discussion was Apple’s rumored foldable device, for which Samsung representatives said they expected Apple to launch its foldable device in two years. Samsung officials also said that the device Apple is reportedly working on is not a phone but a tablet. It could even be a laptop as foldable laptops are a thing now.
Confirming the report, industry analyst firm CCI Insights (via 9to5Google) said last month that it is not possible to launch a foldable iPhone at this time and it could be risky for Apple to release a foldable tablet or laptop, however. Would make more sense to do so. An iPad, for example, would be better suited for a foldable device to be part of the experiment. While it’s unclear how much the foldable Apple device will cost, analysts believe it could cost around $2,500 when it hits the market.
Samsung executives also said in the meeting that the market for foldable devices is expected to grow by 80 percent by 2025. The South Korean company also said that 90 percent of foldable device users are willing to upgrade to another foldable device in the future. It paints a bright picture for a foldable phone that, despite being present for over three years, is still nowhere near mainstream. One reason for this could be the high price. For example, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 price in India is Rs 1,84,999. Considering the premium branding of Apple’s foldable device, it is expected to be priced higher.
Friends, for your information, let us tell you that Apple has just launched its iPhone 14 series a few months back.
The price of the iPhone 14 is $ 799 in the US market and about Rs 79,900 in India and the iPhone 14 Plus is priced at $ 899 in the US market and about Rs 89,900 in India, as well as the price of the iPhone 14 Pro in the US market is $ 999, approximately Rs 129,900 in India. And the iPhone 14 Pro Max has been priced at $1099 in the US market and Rs 169,900 in the Indian market.
