Foldable iPhone Production Being Tested by Foxconn
Foxconn is now testing a folding iPhone for Apple, potentially confirming our report that Apple has ordered screens for a foldable iPhone from Samsung. Reportedly, the testing centers on the use of OLED or micro LED, as the choice will affect how production of a final device. Apple first foldable iPhone may discontinue the production of the iPad mini. It is believed that the upcoming foldable iPhone will be a cross between the iPhone and iPad Mini and will be running the iPadOS. When unfolded, the device will have a display similar to the iPad Mini, reports GizmoChina. The first foldable iPhone is expected to offer at least 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, and the baseline model will seemingly cost $1,499. It will reportedly be unveiled in November 2022. This is not the first time Apple is rumored to be working on a foldable iPhone model. According to past reports, Apple has ordered a batch of foldable displays from Samsung, suggesting that it is working on a foldable iPhone. Apple is in the process of engineering an iPhone with a folding display similar to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold.
Foxconn forecast strong demand for the new iPhone 12 in the holiday quarter and stressed that it would continue investing in the United States as scheduled and is looking at making new products there. Foxconn's planned $10 billion investment in the U.S. state of Wisconsin did not create enough jobs in 2019 to earn tax credits, the state government said last month, the second year the company missed targets touted by President Donald Trump as a major economic win. Foxconn said recently its investment plan did not depend on who the U.S. president was. It was, however, exploring the option of building a new production line there. "We continue to push forward in Wisconsin as planned, but the product has to be in line with the market demand ... there could be a change in what product we make there," Chairman Liu Young-way said at an investor conference. Possible new products include those related to servers, telecommunications and artificial intelligence, he later told reporters.
