Rumors have been rife for a while regarding Apple, one of the most respected names in the tech industry, possibly bringing out a foldable iPhone. But fresh reports and a few confidential sources indicate that this handset might come with some controversial surprises, which are likely to stir mixed reactions among users.
Apple May Introduce Drastic Changes in Foldable iPhone Design
The brand is known for its minimalistic design in machines. But in comparison, the foldable iPhone could even be found with some design elements that no iPhone has ever seen. Examples can be a visible crease directly at the center of the screen, a tiny outer screen, or multiple display modes. While all these are new ideas out there for users, the debate has already started to swirl around how this design would go down with iPhone lovers.
Gigantic Price Tags
Whatever is new from Apple has a high price tag. But this iPhone is likely to be priced around $2,500, which is around Rs. 2,18,000 or even more, because it uses such foldable technology. Most people believe that making such technology available at that price level may, in fact, be somewhat controversial.
Software Limitations?
Its iOS operating system is still optimized only for flat screens. A foldable device would require major changes on the software side. But if the company follows up those speculations with nothing, the backlash could be real among users.
Late Joining of the Market
The foldable phone market is owned by Samsung. So many say that getting into this late may be a risk for Apple, as it would have to face fierce competition.
While there is much excitement surrounding its foldable iPhone, some decisions could prove to be risky on their part. But history has shown that latecomers often become the game changers. Whether this foldable iPhone will herald a new chapter in its time-honored trend remains to be seen.
