The point here is that the E Ink’s EPD, or digital color paper tech in general, is fundamentally ready to offer a paper-like screen experience, and products like the ONYX BOOX Nova 3 and Nova Air C are already making the best out of it. Apple just might be the next name to embrace it, but in a rather eyeball-grabbing fashion with foldables. This could be a smart move for Apple, as an e-ink display could provide a lot of utility and longer battery life. Foldable screens, aside from being fragile and expensive, also consume battery power faster than devices with smaller display panels.
Take the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3, which comes equipped with a 4,400 mAh battery but still struggles to last a full day driving that tall cover display and the inner foldable panel, especially if the latter is used heavily. Apple just might skip that fate by relying on an E Ink paper-like color screen that draws significantly less power compared to an OLED or LCD panel but still lets users perform basic-to-moderately advanced tasks without draining the battery so quickly.
Earlier this year, Kuo tweeted that Apple was testing a 9-inch foldable OLED display that was headed towards an iPhone/iPad hybrid device. Still, don’t hold your breath for an Apple-branded foldable hitting the shelves anytime soon, as Kuo notes that Apple’s first foldable likely won’t hit the shelves before 2025.
