It’s over, the real disruptors in the high-end market are about to emerge.
On November 4th, according to digital blogger @ Dingjiao Digital, Apple has confirmed that it will fold next year and the pricing will exceed expectations. That is to say, Huawei’s competitors have arrived.
Regarding pricing, the blogger confidently stated: ‘It’s not that everyone can afford it, but’ working overtime ‘can also be affordable.’.
On one hand, there are technology giants who have been late for many years, and on the other hand, there is the “foldable screen leader” who occupies 75% of the market share. At that time, the scene of both sides’ hard naming may be even more lively than the release of the iPhone 17 series.
The charm and sales of Huawei foldable screens, I believe it goes without saying that everyone can often see them in their daily lives. So let’s dig out the core material of the Apple folding screen.
According to multiple sources, Apple’s first foldable screen adopts a “book style” internal folding design. When unfolded, the internal screen is 7.8 inches, similar to the iPad mini we usually see, and the external screen is 5.5 inches. There is no major problem with normal one handed grip. The main focus is thinness, and for this “thinness”, Apple has invested a lot of money. After folding, the thickness is about 9 millimeters, which means it is about 4.5 millimeters when unfolded. This reminded Xiaolei that the three quality control system used for drinking milk tea is probably not much different in thickness.
The most surprising thing is that it will cancel the Face ID that has been used for many years and switch to side fingerprint recognition. I wonder if Apple fans can bear this. However, since we pursue lightness and thinness, the internal space is definitely precious, and some configurations will inevitably be cut off.
In addition, it has also collaborated with Samsung to develop a new type of OLED screen, which is rumored to have solved the crease problem. If the creases can really be eliminated by then, Xiaolei is probably a major highlight of the product. Especially for users who have used foldable screen phones, it has a certain appeal. However, there are also reports that there may not be a physical SIM card slot and only eSIM support, which may be inconvenient for users in some regions of China.
In terms of configuration, it goes without saying that everything that can be packed should be packed in to justify the price.
At present, it is known that the initial selling price of Huawei Mate X6 foldable screen is 12999 yuan. If the disclosure is true, then the starting price of Apple foldable screen is approximately between 13000 yuan and 18000 yuan.
Wow, Xiaolei just wants to say that these five figure prices are not something that can be bought just by adding a few extra shifts!
However, speaking of which, they are positioned in the high-end market, so naturally they also have a fixed user base. It should be noted that the Huawei Mate XT Extraordinary Master, as the world’s first three fold mobile phone, has shipped nearly 500000 units in just six months since its launch. This sales volume cannot be increased without any technical content, after all, consumers are not fools.
From horizontal double folding to vertical small folding, Huawei also pioneered wide folding (Pura X series) and triple folding (Mate XTs) last year. It is not an exaggeration to say that Huawei has arranged all folding family buckets.
So the question is, if the pricing really overlaps, who should we choose?
Xiaolei thinks, ‘Let’s each take what we need.’. On the one hand, Huawei has a first mover advantage and ecological barriers, and its technology in foldable screens is more mature and stable; And Apple has brand appeal and user experience advantages. With such a large market space, there is still room for two experts to compete, and besides, there are other brands also entering the foldable screen mobile phone market.
For us ordinary consumers, competition is a good thing. At least it will promote technological innovation and price optimization, and will not be dominated by one company. At the same time, our choices will also increase. However, what Xiao Lei is curious about is that according to Apple’s progress, will foldable screens really appear next year?
Speaking of which, are you more optimistic about Apple or Huawei’s development in the foldable screen market? Welcome to leave your comments in the comment section.
