Interestingly, neither Huawei nor Samsung have touched on this weakness despite stating their respective folding smartphones (the Galaxy Fold and Mate X) will launch commercially this year. As for Apple’s folding iPhone plans, while the company typically stays silent ahead of an official announcement, they are now hiding in plain sight. For example, the name of Apple’s latest patent: “Electronic Devices With Flexible Displays”. So when will a folding iPhone arrive? Despite the Huawei and Samsung launches this year, 2020 seems to be the earliest Apple will join the market.
