Today, the headline “Cook admits it only came out when manufacturers such as Huawei came out with folding machines” went viral on Weibo. According to Gourman, Apple's chief correspondent in foreign media, the point where Apple decided to seriously develop folding screen phones is around 2020. At the time, former Apple CEO Cook had just finished his trip to Asia and was “extremely excited” about folding screen phones when he came back — he saw more and more consumers in China and other Asian countries starting to use folding screen phones launched by competitors such as Huawei and Samsung, so he was convinced that Apple needed to launch its own folding screen phones.
