For months there has been talk that Apple would be preparing the ground to soon launch an iPhone with a flexible screen. With existing functional prototypes that it would be testing since the past 2020.

For many analysts in the media, the movement already looks urgent, because Samsung, Xiaomi, Huawei, Oppo and other leading manufacturers in the market have already positioned themselves as a mandatory reference in this segment.

However, Apple has remained firm in its strategy of containing modifications to its hardware for as long as possible, seeking the highest performance and the best experience through its software.

The best example of this is with the rear camera module of your iPhone, which has been essentially the same sensor for more than 6 years.

That is why we were taken by surprise by the report that this 2023 Apple would finally arrive at the party of folding phones after they did not show anything in 2021. But it seems that it will not happen, again.

The iPhone with a flexible screen would have been delayed by Apple until 2025

It so happens that the financial analyst with a relative reliability record, Ross Young, from the DSCC firm, has just published a report in which he assures that Apple would have once again delayed its plans to launch a folding iPhone until 2025.

Unfortunately in his report, he does not mark the clear reasons why the guys from Cupertino would have decided to delay his phone again.

Although many previous reports, with the expectation of seeing a launch in 2021 or 2022, stated that within Apple there were high doubts about the state of the technology to develop this type of device under a model that would be profitable for them.

Let us remember that in the end, a good part of Apple’s business consists of manufacturing low-cost terminals with high-efficiency thanks to its software, where profit margins are usually very high in relation to the manufacturing cost.

The current technology and state of the industry are in a state where assembling a foldable screen smartphone is costly in all respects, leaving a low profit margin compared to a conventional hard screen smartphone.

In fact, today Samsung is practically the dominant supplier of folding phones thanks to the development of its flexible displays.

So it seems that Apple would prefer to wait a little longer to do business. The disturbing part here is that the origin of all this could be the upcoming development of a MacBook with a flexible screen.
