There’s a recent report that hints to Apple pausing development of its foldable iPhone due to quality assurance concerns around the screens breaking during its testing. Rumors about an iPhone Flip have been teasing us on how Apple could be entering the foldable phones space, but it looks like it could be a long while before it comes to fruition. Its rivals, on the other hand, have been releasing and refining their foldable phones — and benefiting from consumer interest.
Even if Apple is hitting the brakes on a foldable iPhone for now, it shouldn’t be a cause of concern because the company can’t afford to release just any foldable phone — but the best one ever. Historically speaking, Apple’s no stranger to letting its competition strike first in a new product category. Remember how MP3 players were around long before the iPod? Or perhaps how Apple’s revolutionary iPhone came out years after the first string of smartphones?
