The application of folding screen technology has become a highlight in the smartphone market. Folding screen mobile phones from different manufacturers have unique highlights in terms of appearance design and performance. As folding screen technology gradually matures, consumers are also full of expectations for whether Apple can launch folding screen mobile phones.

In 2023, China’s foldable screen mobile phone market will ship approximately 7.007 million units, a year-on-year increase of 114.5%. Among them, in the fourth quarter of 2023, China's folding screen mobile phone market shipped approximately 2.771 million units, a year-on-year increase of 149.6%. Since the first product was launched in 2019, China's foldable screen mobile phone market has grown by more than 100% year-on-year for four consecutive years. Against this background, China's foldable screen mobile phone market has shown unprecedented activity, with major domestic and foreign brands entering the market.

At 19:00 on March 26, vivo officially announced that the X Fold3 series was officially released and will be officially released on April 3. As a new flagship folding screen mobile phone, vivo XFold3 leads industry changes with its lightweight body design, and its 219-gram weight achieves the perfect combination of large screen and portability. The curved aluminum alloy frame and various colors highlight aesthetic pursuits, and the Zeiss three-camera imaging system provides an excellent photography experience. XFold3 is not only a mobile phone, but also a model of the integration of technology and life.

All major manufacturers are sparing no effort to be thinner, smarter, and more affordable, launching unique products to compete for a share of this emerging market. Why doesn’t Apple come out to get a share of the pie?

When will Apple release a foldable screen? Why hasn’t Apple released a foldable screen yet?

Relevant media said that Apple’s failure to produce a folding screen may be due to technical difficulties, or it may be due to difficulty in finding folding screens and other components that meet its high standards. As a result, Apple has adjusted its foldable iPhone release plan from the fourth quarter of 2026 to the first quarter of 2027.

In fact, Apple’s delay in releasing the folding screen iPhone must have its own considerations, which may be analyzed from the following points:

1: The supplier’s screen failed to pass Apple’s strict testing standards , causing Apple to suspend the development of foldable iPhones.

2: Apple has concerns about durability, screen quality, and creases. It is worried that launching a folding screen iPhone too early will compromise these aspects and require users to pay high costs.

3: Apple seems to be in no rush to enter the foldable smartphone market, and it may even take longer than expected to enter.

4: Apple is exploring the development of a full-screen folding screen MacBook, which shows Apple’s diversified development strategy in technology.

5: Directly developing a foldable screen iPhone is extremely risky, because the iPhone is one of the main strengths of Apple’s product line, and any updates must be done with caution.

In addition, Apple tends to be conservative in the application of new technologies, which is also a reason for delaying the release.

Only when any technological innovation truly solves the pain points of users can it win market recognition and achieve long-term development. Although Apple’s foldable screen phone is late, it will definitely arrive. I believe Apple will give us fruit fans a satisfactory result by then.
