Apple is testing color e-ink display technology for implementation in future foldable devices such as an iPhone or iPad, Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said today.

On Twitter, Kuo said that the e-ink display could be used for the outer-most display in a foldable device, while the larger, folded-out display would use a more advanced display technology. Color e-ink displays would be significantly more energy-efficient than other forms of display technology, Kuo added.

Apple is testing E Ink's Electronic Paper Display (EPD) for future foldable device's cover screen & tablet-like applications. 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.

Apple is reportedly planning to first launch a 9-inch foldable that sits somewhere between an ‌iPhone‌ and ‌iPad‌ in display specifications around 2025. Kuo believes that Apple's foldable roadmap will initially focus on medium-sized devices, followed by devices with larger displays, before finally expanding to small devices like the ‌‌iPhone‌‌.
