iPhone要出折疊螢幕了！數值不值得讓我們再等兩年？

這兩天，蘋果的小折疊 iPhone 終於出來定檔的消息了。

經常關注手機資訊的差友們可能知道， iPhone Flip 這事兒已經堪稱現代版《狼來了》的故事，自從安卓第一款折疊屏手機賣的火熱，每年高低有點iPhone Flip 的爆料。

最近兩年，媒體挖出的消息越來越多，先是挖出了折疊機的內部代號，然後挖出來了折疊的形態，還爆料出了一堆蘋果和折疊機相關的專利。

去年一段時間，還有媒體爆料，蘋果首款小折疊產品，最早 24 年就會小批量生產，同時折疊版 iPad 也會一同現身——結果大家也知道了，是個煙霧彈。

不過今天，更準確的消息出現了：小折疊 iPhone 已經脫離了概念階段，進入研發，預計 2026 年推出。

好傢伙，蘋果怕是真鐵了心要搞小折疊了！

不過，托尼也和身邊的硬體工程師朋友聊了聊，結果他給我稍微潑了盆冷水——

所謂進入研發階段，離投產還遠著呢。

他這麼給我捋了一下：概念階段，應該是指蘋果有了一個初步的設計需求，比如說「要做一款旗艦級的折疊螢幕手機」。

而進入研發階段，則是蘋果已經針對這個目標整理了一版初步的設計方案，來讓工程師們知道，應該如何細化各個模組的設計。

換句話說，就是不但決定要去逛超市，而且還把購物清單給列好了，但是要購物清單的商品能不能買的到，得等到了現場才知道。

好巧不巧，剛跟他聊完我就又看到了一條消息，說蘋果對折疊屏的“摺痕問題”不滿意，要下大力氣改進，所以折疊屏幕的真實發佈時間可能還會再延一年。

行。 。 。吧。 。 。假如你真能把摺痕問題徹底解決了，那再鴿一年也無妨。

不僅如此，從蘋果時不時的拋出一些折疊屏專利來看，蘋果對於摺痕、鉸鏈、機身厚度等幾大小折疊的常見痛點都有一定研究。

比如，有著獨特鉸鏈的可移動的伸縮板，簡單理解就是，設備展開時，這個伸縮板會帶動兩側的轉軸打開，屏幕外殼兩部分的間隙會被同時覆蓋住，當設備折疊時，兩個轉軸會收縮回來。

專利指出這種方式，可讓摺痕上的應力幾乎為0。

此外，網上還有傳出，蘋果研發了一種柔性顯示覆蓋層的專利技術，可以簡單理解成，往屏幕裡填充了一層記憶海綿一樣的“自愈”材料，可以一定程度的修復摺痕。

不過，雖然大家扒出來不少專利，但托尼目前沒有收到任何消息透露，蘋果已經拿出了消滅摺痕的解決方案。

大家可能不知道，早在幾年前我們評測一款折疊屏手機的時候，這家手機廠商的人就跟我們說，他們使用的轉軸鉸鏈供應商，就是給蘋果折疊屏提供鉸鏈的。

假如這家廠商沒跟我撒謊的話，這麼多年過去了蘋果折疊屏還在延期，恐怕徹底消除摺痕的方案真的不好找。

說起來，對於小折疊，我們真的是又愛又恨。 。 。

第一代折疊螢幕手機剛發布的時候托尼就有同事剁手了，但真正用了才發現，小折疊是真的不好用。

Because we have to reply to WeChat frequently at work, and the external screen of the small foldable one at that time was smaller than the screen of the bracelet. Soon I found that he no longer folded the phone, and finally spent the money of the folding screen to buy one A "candy machine" with shorter battery life and weaker performance. . .

So there is one more person scolding "beautiful little waste" on the Internet.

It’s not like the small fold has not evolved in the middle, but yeah, it’s still almost meaningless.

For example, everyone realized that the foldable screen must be able to respond to emergencies when closed, so they began to add small screens to the flip cover.

But the "small external screen" experience at this time is still a bit hard to describe -

However, five years later, the latest small folding phones now all have super large external screens.

Not only can it be used as a makeup mirror and a selfie tool, it can also perfectly display hundreds of apps. You can simply reply to WeChat or call a ride on Didi without opening your phone.

u1s1, now I am very satisfied with the external screen experience of small folding screens. I can’t imagine how Apple can improve in this area if it goes away. . .

Perhaps at most Apple will take advantage of the iOS closed-source system and force App developers to develop more apps with a better experience on small screens.

Or you can learn from the operating logic of Apple Watch and define a set of very comfortable operating standards for the small folding external screen.

We can definitely look forward to this.

But in fact, in addition to hardware workmanship and software adaptation, I think Apple’s decision to make a small folding iPhone has some benefits that will benefit the entire industry.

For example, foldable screen mobile phones are considered a very niche category at this stage - although the price is falling every year, practicality and shipments are also improving, most people are still watching.

But is it possible that many of these waiting friends are actually waiting for Apple?

I asked some friends around me who were watching, and they all thought that the current folding screens are really beautiful, very personalized, and they have the desire to buy them.

But when I thought that I was using an iPhone now, changing to a folding screen would mean switching all kinds of familiar ecology to Android, so I gave up.

In other words, if Apple really launches a folding screen, and the "iPhone Flip" can solve the creases, improve the lifespan, and have better secondary screen software adaptation as now revealed. . .

These friends who chat with me will most likely place an order. The event may be no less grand than when iPhone X introduced full screen and iPhone 14 Pro introduced Smart Island. . .

At the same time, Apple is promoting the crease suppression technology in supply chain research, and the external screen adaptation interface developed by apps for the folding iPhone will eventually be fed back to all folding screen phones over time.

The ending will make the entire small folding phone ecosystem better.

Even putting aside these things, the introduction of a folding screen for the iPhone will also have many benefits for Apple itself.

The most obvious one is sales. You know, the sales of Android Fold have been increasing steadily in the past two years. . . There are still many friends who are waiting to see the foldable iPhone.

If the small foldable iPhone is really released, Apple should at least be able to make back all the money it lost in developing the Vision Pro~
