Apple could launch its first foldable in 2023

Apple’s a little late to the party?

Folding phones have been around for quite some time, but only a few companies like Samsung and Huawei have led the mainstream trend. However, this could soon change with Apple launching its folding offering soon, and if reports are to be believed, it could be as early as 2023.

According to trusted source  Ming-Chi Kuo, the first folding iPhone is most likely to launch in 2023. The information is based on an “industry survey” and reveals that Apple’s shipment of its foldable phones will reach 15 to 20 million units.

It could sport an 8-inch Quad HD+ OLED display that can fold. Kuo believes that the upcoming ‌iPhone‌ will adopt a silver nanowire touch solution for the device’s display, which will create a “long-term competitive advantage” for Apple in the foldable device market.

The report says, “At present, the product position of foldable smartphones is mainly to integrate the smartphone and tablet. But we believe that the foldable smartphone is only one of the applications of the foldable design. We predict that foldable devices will blur the product segmentations between smartphones, tablets, and laptops in the future.”

Kuo is also predicting that the folding device will blur lines between traditional smartphones, tablets, and laptops in the future. Given Apple’s “cross-product ecosystems and hardware design advantages,” he expects Cupertino to emerge as the “biggest winner in the new foldable device trend.”

Keep in mind, the predicted analysis is two to three years down the line. Within this time frame, many aspects of the future phone could change, and these reports should be taken with a pinch of salt.

Computex 2026

GIGABYTE to focus on end-to-end AI infrastructure, deployment at COMPUTEX 2026

Showcase to highlight how production AI is implemented, used on real-world scenarios

GIGABYTE has announced its showcase for COMPUTEX 2026, centering on the theme “Future Landing.”

Moving away from conceptual AI training models, the company’s exhibit next month will focus strictly on the immediate implementation, scaling, and real-world operation of production AI infrastructure.

According to the company, the exhibit addresses a major industry shift: the transition of AI from development phases into large-scale inference and physical operation.

Visitors can expect an interactive breakdown of the AI infrastructure lifecycle, structured into three distinct zones: Ready, Deployable, and Happening.

The “Ready” phase highlights fully validated systems simulated at GAIFA (GIGABYTE AI Factory Accelerator), the company’s dedicated facility in Taiwan.

To demonstrate rapid scalability, the “Deployable” section will feature modular, prefabricated infrastructure units that integrate compute, cooling, and power, all managed via the proprietary GIGABYTE Pod Manager (GPM) software.

Lastly, the “Happening” zone will showcase live, practical applications of physical AI and localized healthcare inference. Attendees can observe a live “real-to-sim-to-real” automation pipeline showing how AI models move from virtual simulation into active robotic systems.

GIGABYTE will also demonstrate point-of-care medical AI running locally, including real-time polyp detection and bone marrow analysis.

In addition to the primary enterprise infrastructure booth (first floor), GIGABYTE will operate a secondary exhibit on the fourth floor.

This dedicated space will showcase edge and end-user applications, specifically highlighting its AI TOP series. This demonstrates how the company’s hardware scales down from massive data center architectures to deskside deployments.

The GIGABYTE booths can be visited from June 2 to 5, 2026 at the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center (Hall 1):

  • 1F K0802 (Enterprise)
  • 4F M0520 (Consumer)
