Apple has been rumored to be working on a foldable iPhone for a while now. Industry tipsters have claimed that the brand already has a working prototype which is akin to Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip and Galaxy Z Fold devices. Recent rumors have also suggested that the foldable iPhones might debut in 2022-2023.
Now, Youtuber ardstudiodesign has created a concept render video of the alleged upcoming foldable iPhone showcasing potential design and stylistic profile for the device.
The device render is quite similar to a concept render revealed last year by Graphic designer Technizo and features a similar flip design to the Galaxy Z Flip3 devices. The phone is shown to have a triple-camera cluster on the left and a secondary screen on the right. The secondary screen is quite important in a flip smartphone to make checking notifications, incoming calls, or just the time an easier process.
The Youtuber also plays around with ideas like making the device waterproof by going portless and featuring a tightly sealed hinge. He also throws around the idea of the iPhone Flip featuring an M1 chip, which in concept sounds like a good idea, however, is quite impractical due to the heat produced by the M1 chip. It will be quite a challenge to keep the temperatures under control on such a small device. The idea of going portless, however, doesn’t appear to be as far-fetched due to Apple’s recent push for MagSafe charging as well its talks or the company getting rid of physical SIM card slots in their upcoming iPhone Models.
