Currently we may still see the phones that come with flip or
fold design, but now in the smartphone era the majority of smartphone design is
rectangular and rigid. But some manufacturers seem to have been thinking about
the design of new smartphones, including Samsung rumored to be working on a
smartphone with a screen that can be folded.
Note that this foldable screen is a really flexible screen,
not a smartphone with two separate folded screens. Of course reasonable when
Samsung became the leader in developing smartphones with folded screens, given
the South Korean technology giant has a special division to produce the screen.
But Samsung may not be alone in efforts to bring innovative
smartphones, because according to Korean Investor reports, Apple is rumored to
also be making the iPhone with a screen that can be folded.
The report claims that Apple has started work to create an
iPhone prototype that has a folding screen. As for the supply of flexible
display panels, Apple does not use Samsung-made panels, but from LG. This is
due to Apple's concern over leaking company plans by their most powerful rivals
if it works with Samsung. That way, Apple prefers to work with LG which also
has a Display division.
LG Display is reported to have managed to create some work
to develop a foldable OLED panel. Although the news is true, but we will not
see the iPhone that has the screen can be folded in the near future, because
the production panel is rumored to be started in 2020.
Whether true or not the report, but considering Apple is a
major competitor Samsung, so Cupertino-based company must create new
innovations to compete with rival.
