Apple has been rumored to be working on a foldable iPhone for months. Now, a new note known analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has stated that the company might be launching such a device by 2023.
According to a 9To5Mac report, the analyst also added that this foldable iPhone from the Cupertino based giant could launch along with the 2023 iPhone lineup and may feature a display size of “7.5 to 8 inches.” Previously, it was rumored that the company might be launching its first foldable handset in 2022, while another report stated that work has already began but the company has yet to decide on an official release schedule.
Furthermore, Kuo also made predictions for Apple iPhones. Apparently, the first truly full screen iPhone with no notch would also appear during this time. Although, this forecast is also heavily tied with whether Apple’s “development goes smoothly.” However, Kuo states that the company could launch its first iPhone without a notch or punch hole by 2023. This could also mean that we may even see an in display fingerprint scanner and periscopic camera lens as well.
Kuo also added that Apple might discontinue the iPhone 11 by the end of 2022, and will be replacing the device for a new model that could launch in the first half of 2023 and will be priced under 600 US Dollars. This device could include Face ID and have a similar 11 inch display along with 5G support. Unfortunately, this is still an unconfirmed report, so take it with a pinch of salt and stay tuned for more as we will be providing updates when additional information is available.
