According to Bloomberg's previous report, the Cupertino, California-based tech manufacturer has started testing its latest foldable iPhone prototype. The information was leaked by an anonymous person who has connections inside Apple. On the other hand, rumors stated that the foldable iPhone could also have a 6-inches or 8-inches screen if it is unfolded.

The anonymous leaker added that the foldable Apple screens, which are currently being tested, are comparable to those from Samsung. One of the similarities revealed is the foldable iPhone's invisible hinge with electronics stationed behind the display. Meanwhile, a new rumor is circulating on the internet, stating that a feature to support stylus will also be integrated by Apple on its first foldable smartphone.

Apple to support stylus feature?

Gizmo China stated in its latest report that Apple could integrate stylus support on its first foldable smartphone. However, it was not yet confirmed if it will specifically support the company's Apple Pencil. There's also a chance that the tech giant manufacturer will release a new stylus device that will be partnered with the upcoming foldable iPhone.

On the other hand, speculations claimed that Apple is already done with developing the clamshell design of its foldable iPhone, which is just like Samsung Galaxy Z Flip's design. The tech giant company is expected to use a Ceramic Shield glass that will be chemically treated. This method will allow it to handle a significant level of tolerance when it is unfolded or folded.

Meanwhile, the upcoming iPhone is allegedly going to be cheaper than other competitor foldable devices. This is likely to happen since it will be launched in 2023. However, the launch date could still be delayed if the company faces any production or hardware issue.

As of the moment, Apple is also focusing on its "Project Titan," which will soon release the company's very first electric car. Right now, the Cupertino-based manufacturer is still finding some car manufacturers that will help it complete its Apple electric vehicle.
