Rumors confirm – wait until autumn

The rumor mill has long been clear that Samsung Display will deliver the screen. According to several reports, Apple has it produced on his exact specifications. Boe is currently in the iPhone Panels from Samsung, LG and – especially in the Chinese market. Apple wants a particularly smooth screen without the famous folk “ironing fold”. The company also works on a new hinge that should be particularly durable.

Apple has long been able to implement its foldable plans. The first Galaxy Fold cell phone from Samsung was launched in 2019. The new hardware allegedly comes with A20 SoC, two (or three) rear cameras and possibly the fingerprint sensor Touch ID again, because there may be no space for a face ID face recognition. The price is likely to be 2000 euros and more.
