This is not the first time that we have seen a report suggesting that Apple is working on a foldable device that is bigger than an average iPhone.

Earlier this year, known Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo also suggested that Apple is working on a foldable OLED display and PPI between iPhone and iPad to verify key technologies. Apple has reportedly partnered with LG to develop a foldable OLED display panel with ultra-thin cover glass for future products.
