Android users now have the option to choose from a wide range of smartphone manufacturers when it comes to a foldable phone purchase. However, there’s no foldable device from Apple yet. In the latest revelation, Honor CEO Zhao Ming has shared his opinion about this.
At the launch conference for the Honor Magic V3 and Magic Vs3 yesterday, Zhao Ming said in an interview that from the consumer’s perspective, Honor is trying to fulfill the demand by making foldable phones. Generally, the thickness, weight, and durability of the folding mechanism and the foldable screen are the main concerns of consumers. The Honor official revealed that the company is working to overcome these challenges.
When asked why Apple has not yet launched a foldable phone, he suggested that the company might be struggling to overcome the challenges associated with the form factor. “If (Apple) launched it in 26 years, it means that they are optimistic about this track, so why not launch it now? It should be that they are not capable of making a good foldable screen. This is an obvious logic,” (translated).
Speaking of the company’s own product development, the official stated that if the thickness and weight of their foldable phones are comparable to those of other manufacturers, customers are likely to opt for them as well. He emphasized that they would address reliability issues through advancements in material science.
He added that the goal isn’t just to make the foldable phones thin and light but also to provide additional value to users. He also noted that a foldable phone with a good flow and consistency between the inner and outer screen can offer an experience that can never be offered through candy-bar phones. The addition of AI can also offer additional value to the multitasking experience of foldable phones.
