According to South China Morning Post, the demand of iPhones has dropped and with it, Apple supplier Foxconn has also cut their production. The lesser production not only meant less iPhone smartphones, but also reduced the benefits of Apple workers working for factories making the Cupertino tech giant's devices. Moreover, many salaries were cut due to these dropping demand for iPhone devices. Moreover, Foxconn confirmed that the loss of employees in their company is through resignation and not termination. So far, Apple doesn't seem to be interested in fully returning the demand for more iPhone production with its new 2019 focus.
Apple draws up a blueprint for the foldable iPhone
While Samsung ramped up to a Galaxy Fold launch this week, we now have a look at what Apple thought a foldable iPhone should look like back in 2014, as a patent application indicated last week.

The patent app doesn't mean that Apple may be working on a foldable iPhone and a timeline for when such a device could reach the market is also uncertain. Last March, CNBC reported that a new foldable iPhone could be released in 2020, and that it could likely double up as a tablet.

While Apple has already confirmed one unplanned iPhone upgrade this month (which the company is very unhappy about), now another new iPhone release is coming which should be welcomed by everyone…Spotted by iPhoneHacks, Apple has a surprise for iPhone fans: the company has overcome a design limitation of the iPhone X and can now breathe new life into its iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max models by launching them with - in my opinion - the best finish from the iPhone XR.
