A new report suggests Apple is nearing the selection of a key supplier for its next-generation foldable display technology, hinting at the development of a foldable device. While the report doesn't explicitly confirm the device's nature, speculation points towards a foldable iPhone or iPad, potentially entering a new device category. The report also highlights Apple's stringent technical requirements for the foldable screen, emphasizing shock resistance and wrinkle protection.

The folding iPhone, a device shrouded in mystery and speculation, remains an elusive dream. While the tech world eagerly anticipates the iPhone 17, rumors surrounding a foldable iPhone are significantly fewer. However, a recent report has injected a spark of hope into the hearts of those yearning for this revolutionary device.

According to this report, citing a source within Apple's supply chain, the company is in the final stages of selecting a key supplier for its next-generation foldable display technology. While this news doesn't guarantee an immediate release of a foldable iPhone, it strongly suggests that such a device is in development.The report, however, stops short of confirming the device's specific application. It only mentions the development of a foldable screen, leaving the intended recipient – whether an iPhone or another Apple device – a subject of speculation. Adding to the intrigue, the report further reveals that Apple is scrutinizing domestic parts companies to meet its stringent technical requirements. It highlights the need for improved shock resistance and wrinkle protection while maintaining the existing foldable display panel's thickness and size. While Apple hasn't finalized its choice, industry experts anticipate a decision by the end of February or early April.The potential unveiling of a folding iPad further complicates the picture. Rumors have swirled around a foldable iPad, possibly entering a brand new device category. Samsung's CEO TM Roh had confirmed over a year ago that the South Korean company was actively developing a foldable tablet. This hints at a growing trend in foldable technology beyond smartphones. Although reports on the folding iPhone suggest a release date as early as this year or as late as 2027, 2023 seems highly improbable. The excitement surrounding the rumored super-thin iPhone Air, if true, further pushes back the possibility of a foldable iPhone launch in the same year. It seems Apple would prioritize unveiling these distinct devices sequentially rather than simultaneously
