Apple works on a folding iPhone that would not have a folding screen

We will all agree that the concept of folding phone (or foldable that some say) is part of the future. We do not know if they will be the models that command the market in the coming years, but it is evident that they will have a leading role due to their enormous versatility when compressing the benefits of a smartphone with a screen of six or more inches in a smaller space. . Look at the examples of the Galaxy Flip, or the Motorola RAZR.

And that Apple is preparing its own design, no one doubts it. It’s more, as usual, they will have quite developed with their sights set on, 2021, 2022 …? Now there are echoes of those plans and the news is disturbing. Especially if you are one of the fans of Cupertino and you expected to see an iPhone with a folding screen soon.

Foldable but not foldable

That is more or less the idea that is moving Apple in the development of its folding smartphone, as revealed on its Twitter account one of the leakers with the highest success rate in the ecosystem of those of Tim Cook. Already predicted this year’s arrivals of the latest iPhone SE and iPad Pro, as well as many details of the next iPhone 12. Now, Jon Prosser dares also with the folding iPhone … without folding screens.

In his message, Jon Prosser states that “Apple’s foldable iPhone isn’t really foldable. The current prototype has two separate display panels by a hinge. Round stainless steel edges like the current design of the iPhone 11. And without notch: small front on the external screen that houses Face ID “.

If we take this data as true, what Apple would be preparing is more similar to what Microsoft has in the portfolio with its Surface Duo, that will come out in the coming months and that does not install a folding panel but two screens that will work together. Something that we could understand as quite far from what the folding concept should be on an iPhone.

Anyway, you have to stick with the word prototype, which means that it is not a definitive concept and other paths are surely being explored. Of course, if such a device arrives, many doubts would assail us about what its approach could be, whether as a mobile that doubles its screen or as a substitute (with Apple Pencil and everything) for some of the iPads that Apple has in the market. What do you think about this idea?
