Apple's Foldable New iPhone Is Coming Together

as informed in Barclays explains that the modem design for 2020 iPhones "needs to be set now," and Intel's race to ship its first 5G smartphone modem in late 2019 "does not work with Apple's timeline." Compounding this is Apple's legal fight with Qualcomm. While 5G phones and 5G networks will both launch this year, availability will be limited. But this changes in 2020 and releasing premium iPhones without 5G for the October 2020 to October 2021 lifecycle is marketing suicide. Recent Qualcomm victories infuriated Apple and today's news will do nothing to improve the company's mood...___Follow Gordon on Twitter, Facebook and Google+More On ForbesApple's Foldable New iPhone Suddenly Takes ShapeApple Patents New iPhone Laser Display UpgradeApple Leak Reveals Surprise Product(Red) iPhone ReleaseApple 'Confirms' iPhone 7, iPhone 8 Hardware ChangesiPhone 11 Leak Claims Slow Charging, High Prices Remain

Apple's Foldable New iPhone Is Coming Together

Apple has already made two iPhone updates this year (one planned, one angrily protested) but following the launch of radical folding smartphones by Samsung and Huawei, Apple's more ambitious iPhone plans are now taking shape…Earlier this week Apple revealed patents covering its plans for creating a folding iPhone. The illustrations show screen orientation, hinge design and structural integrity, and now Dutch industrial designer Roy Gilsing has fleshed them out. Working with Foldable News, Gilsing has demonstrated how the application of Apple's design aesthetic on this form factor has the potential to create a truly transformative device. Coincidentally, Apple is also expected to launch a punch hole iPhone design (something you can see on Gilsing's main screen) next year. And that day no longer looks far away, which really would silence the doubters…___Follow Gordon on Twitter, Facebook and Google+More On ForbesApple Warned iPhones Have An Innovation ProblemApple Leak Reveals Surprise Product(Red) iPhone ReleaseApple 'Confirms' iPhone 7, iPhone 8 Hardware ChangesiPhone 11 Leak Claims Slow Charging, High Prices RemainApple Discusses Making iPhone Price Cuts

Apple's work on advancing iPhone Waterproofing introduces a New Style of Charging and Data Port

As it stated in According to Apple, the discrete contact regions could form positive, negative and/or ground terminals. In some embodiments, one or more magnets could be positioned within the iPhone's housing and proximate contact regions 302-1, 302-2 and 302-3 and be configured to align contacts of an electrical connector with contact regions 302-1, 302-2 and 302-3. Apple's iPhone port design may use that or a variant of it in the future. Apple began work on this new port for iPhone back in 2016. Patently Apple covered it in a report titled "Patent Illustrates Future iPhone having Backside Invisible 'Smart Connector' Port."
