Apple Starts Testing Foldable Device Which Has A Colour E-Ink Display
News 18Apple is one of the few technology giants yet to dip its toes into the foldable arena, but according to a new report, not only is the company working on a device, it is trying different ways to make it unique. The update comes via Ming-Chi Kuo, an analyst, who talks about Apple testing a foldable which could use an e-ink display with colour output as the secondary screen on the device. The color EPD has the potential to become a mainstream solution for foldable devices' must-have cover/second screen thanks to its excellent power-saving.— 郭明錤 May 17, 2022 Kuo believes that using an e-ink display will help Apple offer a differentiated experience, and at the same time preserve the battery life of the device with its low-power consumption. Having said that, Apple reportedly choosing an e-ink screen as its outer display raises further questions about its quality and experience of using apps, compared to the other foldable devices we have seen in the market to date from Samsung, Oppo and Xiaomi among others. Kuo’s note seems to suggest Apple might prefer power management over colour output for its reported foldable device, which seems rather strange for a high-end product.
