iPhone

Not a completely new topic, but so far only in the form of rumors on the Internet: Apple is supposedly planning a foldable iPhone, which, according to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, should appear on the global market as early as 2023. Ming-Chi Kuo, who works for the financial services group TF International Securities, is no stranger to details and leaks about Apple products. The analyst has already reported on many iPhone X details in the past, which later turned out to be spot-on and can look back on an impressive track record.

Ming-Chi Kuo also claims to have learned that the first generation of the smartphone (the iPhone 15?) should be equipped with an 8-inch OLED screen (larger than the 7.9-inch iPad mini). In addition, the new iPhones will use silver nanowire for touch technology. That should give the company a long-term competitive advantage over Samsung's current Y-OCTA (Youm On-Cell Touch AMOLED) technology. According to Kuo, Apple has been experimenting with the silver nanowire for a while in the area of ​​touch technology, most recently it was used in the HomePod and HomePod mini.
