The presentation of Galaxy fold It has caused an avalanche of movements in all the technology companies. Patents and off-the-hook projects begin to come to the fore and try design strategies that allow to maintain a real competition with Samsung or Huawei. Apple could be working on a foldable screen hybrid prototype that we won't see until 2020.
The success of Samsung's technology could have set off alarm bells in offices and could have offered folding screens to Apple and to other companies, which would mean a dominance of panels of this type in the largest technology companies in the world.
Will Apple buy folding screens from Samsung?
[…] Samsung Display hizo un prototipo de pantalla plegable y se lo entregó a Apple. Este prototipo, que en realidad funciona como un teléfono inteligente, tiene un panel plegable de 7.2 pulgadas. 7.2 pulgadas son 0.1 pulgadas más pequeña que la pantalla del Samsung ‘Galaxy Fold’.
The Asian media ETNews has reported that Samsung executives they could have offered Apple a folding screen prototype. This would allow, on the one hand, a real supply of folding screens to the Big Apple, which has already been working on this technology, thanks to the patents disclosed. On the other hand, Samsung would generate large revenues as they could increase their production to 10 million panels a year, instead of the approximately 2.5 million they currently produce.
This move is smart on the part of Samsung, which aims to lead a field of evolution and innovation that aims to be constant in the coming years. It's risky for apple acquire this volume of panels if they have not yet designed a real prototype that meets the quality commitment that it has been offering for many years. Therefore, we can only wait and try get some additional information on this assumption since from those of Cupertino no speculation about a possible foldable hybrid iPhone.
