Recent rumors suggest that Apple is focusing on enhancing the energy efficiency of its upcoming foldable display.
According to a recent post from the Weibo user “Phone Chip Expert,” Apple has made significant progress in reducing the size of the display driver integrated circuit (IC) from 28nm to 16nm, which may enhance battery longevity.
Analyst Jeff Pu has indicated that Apple’s first foldable device has recently moved into the New Product Introduction (NPI) phase at Foxconn, with mass production expected to commence in the latter part of 2026. The device could potentially launch either late next year or in early 2027.
This Weibo user’s track record includes accurate predictions regarding the water resistance of the iPhone 7, the use of the A15 Bionic chip in standard iPhone 14 models, and Apple’s plans to develop its own servers for Apple Intelligence with Apple Silicon. Many of these claims were later verified by reliable sources and turned out to be true.
