More on the iPhone Foldable Due in 2023
 
According to Jon Prosser, the first foldable iPhone is in development. This iPhone will fold internally and will be official in 2023 at the earliest. The foldable iPhone is expected to adopt a flip-up design similar to the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip, reducing the overall volume of the phone by folding the screen to enhance its portability.

Prosser said that Apple is currently considering some folding screen-related technologies. The company hopes to release a foldable iPhone with a special glass technology that can ensure that it remains intact after countless folds. Apple seems to be placing so much emphasis on durability. There were reports that Apple will use a special chemical ceramic protective glass (already used by Samsung in their UTG). According to reports, this glass will not break even after bending. It will effectively reduce creases and avoid a significant drop in the screen experience after multiple folding. The reports claim that the first foldable iPhone will come with a Samsung flexible OLED panel. In addition, Apple will ditch the notch making the entire front completely free from any sensor abstractions. Also, the bezels on all four sides are almost equal. Prosser claims the foldable iPhone will be priced at $1,499. The Z Flip 5G originally introduced at $1450 is now selling at $1199.
