Although Apple will still take its time to launch its first flip phone, The company of Cupertino has already started working on the development of this device. Recent information indicates that the American company is testing a new screen OLED folding that would be used in a future iPhone model.
According to the specialized portal TheElec of South Korea, the folding screen that Apple would implement in its phone will not have a polarizing layer as used in some current folding phones.
Precisely, Samsung, in your model Galaxy ZFold 3, uses a folding screen without a polarizing layer. In this sense, Apple is considering a similar approach for its future foldable iPhone.

In this sense, it is necessary to mention that the polarizing layer allows for thinner folding screens, although at the cost of visibility and maximum brightness. Because of this, manufacturers are forced to increase the power consumption of the screen in an attempt to increase brightness. This problem has a negative impact on the longevity of folding panels, so it will be interesting to see how Apple can fix it.
However, there is still a long time to go before we know the final design of Apple’s folding mobile. According to the renowned leaker and device expert of the bitten apple company, Ming-Chi Kuo, the foldable iPhone will not hit the market until 2024.
