With the successful launch of Samsung’s folding smartphones in 2020 with the Z Fold2 and Z Flip (along with a kind of messy launch in 2019 with the original Galaxy Fold), other companies are pressured to come up with a device that might have some folding element to it. Rumors as early as 2017 have suggested that Apple has been working on an iPhone device with a folding form factor.

The latest evidence comes from leakster Ice Universe and if it is to be believed, Apple is apparently in talks with Samsung Display for foldable screen samples and “hopes to exclusively supply the amount for one year.” As per this and previous reports dating back to early last year, Apple has already been working on prototypes for a folding touchscreen device.

Apple is still in the development phase, and likely hasn’t settled on a design for such a device, should it even arrive to the market. Since the rumors started, at least two (1,2)patents have already surfaced, giving us a rough idea of what the phone could look like. Back in June, another leaker Jon Prosser tweeted about the folding iPhone’s design.
