Apple’s upcoming foldable iPhone is set to make a significant impact in the foldable smartphone landscape.
One of the factors that enabled Apple to lead the MP3 player and smartphone sectors, represented by the iPod and iPhone respectively, is the prevalence of competitors who couldn’t rival its level of design and user experience proficiency. This circumstance enabled Apple to enter the market and quickly establish its influence.
Conversely, the foldable smartphone sector presents a different scenario. Currently, it is dominated by Samsung and Google, two advanced entities that have significantly refined user experience over the recent years. For instance, Google’s recent launch of the Pixel 10 Pro Fold marks it as the first foldable smartphone to achieve an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance.
Apple’s supremacy in the foldable smartphone sector is far from guaranteed. Nonetheless, while certainty is elusive, growing evidence suggests that Apple’s foldable iPhone could set itself apart from other premium high-end devices.
