There have been numerous reports that Apple will soon join the league of Huawei, Samsung, and LG with its own Foldable smartphone. Before mid-December, it was reported that Apple was working with Foxconn and other Taiwanese suppliers to manufacture and develop components for the foldable iPhone, and Samsung will provide either the OLED or micro-OLED displays for them.

The machine-generated report read thus:
Omdia, a global communications and digital media research organization, predicts that Apple may launch a 7.3-7.6-inch foldable OLED smartphone in 2023 and add an activity pen to its foldable iPhone.
The 7-inch foldable iPhone is set to feature an OLED display with size ranging from 7.3 and 7.6 inches and the activity pen is translated as Apple Pencil support. This display size would put the device within the range of the smallest iPad (iPad Mini – 7.9-inch display) which included support for Apple Pencil starting with the release of the iPad Air 3 and iPad mini 5 in 2019.

This release date does not match previous launch dates which were speculated for 2022 and going by previous reports, there are chances that Apple is working with either LG or Samsung Display to make the foldable displays. Finally, the launch could arrive at a time where Samsung is reportedly ditching its popular Galaxy Note series in favour of bringing the S Pen support permanently to the Galaxy S series. The new Galaxy S21 Ultra include support for the company’s S Pen stylus.
