Apple's foldable phone to take a different approach, will launch in 2020

16 January 2019
It's going to fold outwards instead of inwards.

Sort by:

Whatever Apple willcome up will be exaggarated and overexpensive, this company is dead to me, they only copy paste from other with small improvements and pretends it is revolutionary.

    "Everyone is stupid because they fold their phones inward. Hahaha."

        Henry, 17 Jan 2019In the past, I used to believe that people who buy Apple pr... morebecause they are originally Apple sheep that has been converted into Samsung sheep once they realize the truth.. The problem is they still brings the sheep mentality with them instead actually gaining intelligence and wisdom freeing themselves from Apple

          Samsung say what Apple might do and a bunch of fanbois celebrate because Samsung say theirs will be better. The entire rumor is just Samsung fan service.

            A rumor about a product that would barely be in the initial planning stages and won't launch for 20 months, and the haters are already in a J.O. circle to bash. How pathetic.

                    Innovation is gone at Apple. This is what you get with a company that only sells assembled devices made with third party components.

                      In the past, I used to believe that people who buy Apple products are the ones who believe anything that Apple says. But now, it's Samsung fanboys who do that. Seriously, majority of the comments and bashing comes from the Samsung fanboys. It's ridiculous! Korean sheeps. LOL.

                        sen888, 17 Jan 2019This is what I was thinking - it's not different? The FlexP... moreWhy should it be harder? The screen curvature at the bend is much softer than the small radius of an inwards folding device. Sure there will be some waste volume when unfolded, but why should it become bulkier? I would rather expect it to be thinner folded.

                          Samsung's foldable phones needs an extra screen on the outside of the phone, and that will make it far more expensive!
                          I do not think foldable phone will be popular, just as Samsung's curved displays are not really popular, with their annoying glares/reflections and accidental touches, even though Samsung thinks they are! I think Samsung would sell even more flagships if they did not all have annoying curved displays!

                                Here's a prediction, it will break 1 day after the warranty expires and even then the warranty will not cover any damage done by folding the phone properly. People will hopefully start a "properlygate" and will do nothing but "brag" online about it. Apple will not face any lawsuit, because you know, corrupt ca laws and stuff and it when some other countries file that lawsuit apple will not respond properly and just give the people their money back and take back their products selling them off to some bimbo or thot from la.

I cant with Flexpai-like design. On the bright side other android manufacturer will play around with design and innovate some more on this new foldable tech. Foldables will look pretty by December. Just like how notch evolved so quickly from huge iphone x notch late 2017 to tear drop notch mid 2018 and finally punch hole by end of 2018/early 2019. I wont doubt how fast foldables will change. UD fingerprint sensor also already making their way into midranger. Just 2 years ago we all thought under display fps was impossible until 2020.
