According to a recent rumor, Apple is far from releasing a foldable phone. While the Galaxy Z Flip and Z Fold lineups seem to be doing fine, Apple is reportedly concerned about the durability of Samsung Display's foldable panels. Because of this, Apple may have decided against developing a foldable iPhone.
Whether or not those worries are founded — assuming the rumors are true — is debatable, seeing how well the Galaxy Z Flip 5 series is doing. Either way, it doesn't change the fact that Apple does not yet offer a foldable iPhone, and it may take a few more years before it will.
So, if you are an iPhone user thinking of giving foldable phones a try, Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip 5 is the best choice, especially since the rumored foldable iPhone would have had a similar flip-style design.
More so, the Galaxy Z Flip 5 is more affordable than the Z Fold 5, and the Korean tech giant makes it even easier to buy the flip phone through enhanced trade-in discounts for Apple customers.
