Steve Wozniak , co-founder of Apple , has recently considered the possibility of soon seeing a terminal of the manufacturer with the ability to fold. After the presentation of Smartphones such as the Samsung Galaxy Fold or the Huawei Mate X , those from Cupertino have lagged behind in the presentation of their own folding mobile. That’s why last week, in an interview with Bloomberg , Wozniak discussed the development of a foldable iPad or iPhone .

The foldable iPhone is the goal: A foldable iPad or iPhone? – Apple co-founder speaks

Wozniak began by speaking concerned that the company was not among the first to showcase this technology. “ Apple has always been the pioneer in new technologies such as Touch ID, Face ID or digital payment systems from cell phones. However, we have not managed to excel in the development of a folding phone, and that worries me, because I really want one from the company ”.

The co-founder remains positive about the future, so Apple is likely to introduce a foldable terminal soon. Wozniak did not mention if he preferred a clamshell design or if instead he was looking more for a hybrid between a phone and a computer, so nothing is written about its construction.

Thanks to the digital magazine LetsGoDigital we have the first conceptual renderings of a possible folding iPad . This possibility could put Apple in the crosshairs again since it is out of the conventional that has been presented by other companies that have focused on Smartphones.

However, it is obvious that Apple has many challenges ahead, since, for example, it is very unlikely that Samsung will offer its folding screens to the apple. In this sense, they would have to look for other options for the acquisition of these, or choose to manufacture them.

The folding iPhone is also a possibility, but this should have more news than just its flexibility considering that this has been seen a lot in recent months (and more now that Samsung has entered this competition). Although it is not necessarily bad that they lag behind other companies, since this creates pressure in the field of innovation.

At the moment there is nothing concrete beyond the opinion of Wozniak , (remember that in 1967 he founded Apple with Steve Jobs and Ronald Wayne , and was one of the engineers responsible for the first operating systems seen in the Apple I and II), And we must bear in mind that, since his departure from the company in 1985, he never returned to the ranks of Apple .
