Recent leaks about the Galaxy Fold 6 might actually indicate an upcoming foldable iPhone that has been speculated about in recent days. According to news aggregator yeux1122, the new technologies that Samsung is introducing in its new Fold model may be the same ones that Apple plans to use in its upcoming foldable iPhone.
Citing domestic sources, yeux1122 claims that the hinge components used in the Galaxy Fold 6 will be thinner than the current model because Samsung will be using new ones. This will also contribute to weight reduction by utilizing a new component design and structure that have been secured through new patents.
Not only will this improve repairability and durability, but it will also achieve a thickness of around 11mm, comparable to regular smartphones. The leak suggests that the crescent-shaped design of some new internal hinge elements corresponds to the durability and weight reduction that Apple is aiming for.
Rumors about a foldable iPhone have been circulating for several years, but it’s difficult to obtain authentic leaks. Last week, Korean portal The Elec and American magazine The Information shared details about this foldable iPhone.
According to them, Apple plans to release a foldable iPhone resembling the Galaxy Z Flip, which has to be as thin as current iPhone models. It’s worth noting that the iPhone 15 Pro has a thickness greater than 8.25mm, so Apple is aiming for an iPhone Flip with the same thickness as the original model from 2007, which is 11.6mm.
While rumors about a foldable iPhone are still unconfirmed, this latest series of leaks suggests that Apple may follow Samsung’s path and enter the foldable smartphone market. Considering the innovative nature of both companies, we shouldn’t be surprised if this happens in the future. Now we just have to wait for official information from Apple to confirm or refute these reports.
