14 DAY TRIAL // After resolving the problem of a 5G iPhone, Apple’s next big challenge in the short term could be a foldable smartphone that would compete against the likes of Samsung Galaxy Fold.
And while Cupertino has until now shown no interest in such a project, Caviar, the Russian company that creates out-of-this-world iPhone customizations, has a brilliant idea of how to create a foldable iPhone.
The so-called iPhone Z concept proposes a design that has the iPhone fold twice in order to achieve an overall screen size that nearly matches the one of an iPad.
Thanks to its innovative approach, the device would feature a 6.6-inch display in phone mode and a 10.4-inch screen when switching to tablet. It would also support other modes, like selfie, laptop, and TV, all possible thanks to different orientations and configurations of the screen.
Expensive phone
The phone could use three cameras on the back and come with features that are more or less likely on an iPhone, such as an USB-C connector and Touch ID embedded into the glass.
“We really expect something amazing from the new Apple flagship and will not be impressed by any systematic updates! We, as the brand that has been working with Apple technics and their consumers for already 7 years, have our own ideas about it. We decided to dress them in the form of a concept and make it a public fare – probably, we’d be able to inspire Apple? We’ll send our progress to them,” Caviar says.
The Russian company expects such a model to be priced at approximately 2,900 Euros.
And while Apple hasn’t confirmed plans for a foldable phone, Caviar says it’s willing to do it on its own with help from other manufacturers, as long as any other brand is interested in the joint development of such a device.
