The foldable smartphones sure challenge the contenders. Several manufacturers like Samsung, Huawei, Google, and Xiaomi sell theirs. For Apple, however, even all the hype surrounding iPhone Fold's release in less than a year has not paved the way. This begs one issue; Is the iPhone Fold dead on arrival before it actually takes birth?
1. Will a late market release become a risk for Apple?
For this aspect, over five years of its growth, lamination matured from Samsung with the most mature understanding of crease marks with maximized cover screen for foldable phones. Somehow Apple is getting late into an already crowded marketplace by about a year, this probably trending false.
But if Apple has proven something by now-it has proven its coming much later and launching much bigger-the iPhone or maybe the Apple Watch-it was late. So not necessarily, coming late would mean a dead venture.
2. Price-this will always remain the number one obstacle
You see, foldable phones are massively high-priced. Hypothetically, for example, if Apple priced the iPhone Fold at around $2000, that is pure logic saying it will restrict a limited number of users. Such prices have already given the product a DOA status.
On the contrary, due to brand loyalty and a fearsome reputation, Apple would probably be one company that could get away with such pricing.
3. Usability and hard exterior
Foldables really do fold; hence their screens are not tough and hinge problems have not truly been solved. Some are saying that this indicates Apple is creating such that they would not be able to use them for the long run and make bad noise for them.
As per the sources' disclosures, Apple is working on more reliable screen structures and hinge technology. So if they can manage to come up with a stronger resolution, iPhone Fold may stand to gain from these, though very late in the day.
4. The Ecosystem of Apple- The Biggest Might
The iMessage, the Airdrop, continuity, the iCloud-in fact, the number of people you'd ever imagine to get to leave their Apple devices can just be downright incomprehensible. Basically, the iPhone Fold will just be an addition to the apple ecosystem. Most people think that this device will never die because of its brand loyalty from customers.
Conclusion
Is the iPhone Fold really dead? The truth is that this one cannot be said with much certainty until it hits the shops. Apples brand, technology and ecosystem all combine to make a great mark into the foldable market, even though late!
