Apple apparently cracked the code on making a foldable phone without that annoying crease everyone hates, and the thing just needs some final tweaks before factories start pumping them out. The company spent five years working on this design, and they're looking at shipping somewhere between 7 million and 9 million units once it drops.
The supply chain is already locked in with Samsung, TSMC, Foxconn, and a bunch of other manufacturers ready to go, and this will be the first iPhone to get a vapor chamber for cooling. Apple plans to slap their upcoming 2-nanometer A20 Pro chip inside alongside a $2,399 price tag, which is absolutely bonkers, but people will probably still buy it anyway because of the whole ecosystem lock-in thing. The foldable market has been pretty dead lately since nobody else can figure out how to make these devices cheap enough for regular people.
