CTOnews.com, July 21, Samsung executives attended the SID Review event held in the Seoul Yee Sandong business district in South Korea yesterday to review the difficulties and problems encountered in the development of folding devices, and revealed that Apple is currently working with Samsung Display and LG Display to develop 20-inch folding devices.

At yesterday's event, Baek Seung-in, Executive Director of Samsung Display, described the technical difficulties encountered by current collapsible devices:

Foldable crack

Foldable crease

Stylus problem

Folding torque

Compression stress

Screen distortion

Baek Seung-in said that since the launch of the first generation of foldable phones in 2019, the crease issue has always been a top priority for developers. CTOnews.com translated his content as follows: "We have been working hard for many years, although we have improved the crease, but we still can't make it disappear completely."

Baek Seung-in revealed at the event that he is currently working with LG Display to develop a foldable 20-inch tablet and laptop hybrid device for Apple, but he says it will take longer to prepare.

Ross Young said in February that Apple was developing a 20.5-inch foldable laptop, which could be released as soon as 2025.

"what I've learned so far is that Apple may launch a 20.5inch foldable laptop in 2025, but I don't know that Apple will introduce a collapsible iPad in 2024," he said at the time. Maybe this news is a good PR for hinge companies.
