    We’ve heard rumours of Apple working on its foldable iPhone for a while, however a new report from the Economic Daily gives us a bit more information. The report claims that Apple ordered a number of prototype models to test the durability of the hinge design by Apple. Apple wants to make sure that the foldable device can withstand 100,000 opening and closing actions. To put things into perspective, laptops that also need to be tested for opening and closing cations, are only tested for 20,000 to 30,000 openings.

    However, a foldable smartphone is opened and closed multiple times in a day and would be required to last longer than any laptop. “According to the supply chain,” the report goes on to say, “Apple is currently testing key components such as the screen and bearings of the folding machine in order to make the first folding iPhone available as soon as possible.”

    The foldable iPhone also seems to have a planned launch date where the report suggests we may see it arrive in September 2022. While there is no concrete source to back up the claim, it should only be taken at face value as companies tend to change plans. Previous rumours have suggested what we can expect from a foldable iPhone. It is expected to be different from Samsung’s Galaxy Fold and Z Flip. Apple recently filed several patent applications for foldable smartphones which could give us an idea of what we can expect from the foldable iPhone.

    The foldable iPhone might look entirely different from the foldable smartphone we’ve already seen as it is rumoured to consist of two separate displays on a hinge. Apple leaker Jon Prosser has said in the past “It doesn’t look like they just stuck two phones together, Even though they’re two separate panels when the displays are extended, it looks fairly continuous and seamless.”

    The smartphone is also not expected to have a Face ID notch but rather have a small bezel that will house all the sensors for Face ID. A previous leak also suggested that Apple ordered prototype foldable displays units from Samsung for testing and it seems like the company may have finalised a design that will set it apart from the other folding devices.

    COVID-19 is still wreaking havoc across many parts of the world including India. In fact, India's New Delhi is said to be seeing more cases on a daily basis than any other city in the world. But we've been hearing some good news too.
    Last week, we heard about a new vaccine by Pfizer and BioNTech that was said to be 90-percent efficient. Now, there's a new vaccine that's said to be even more efficient. That's right, Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine candidate is apparently 94.5 percent effective and the authorization is awaited now in a few weeks.

    The data produced by this new vaccine hasn't been published or reviewed by outside experts. However, the experts say that efficiency is more than what they had anticipated. “Aspirationally, you would like to see 90, 95 percent, but I wasn’t expecting it. I thought we’d be good, but 94.5 percent is very impressive,” Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told The New York Times.

    Moderna also announced that its vaccine can be stored at refrigerator temperatures i.e. between 2 to 8 degrees Celsius for up to 30 days. This means it'll be very easy to store and distribute. The previous vaccine by Pfizer and BioNTech’s vaccine has to stay at -70 degrees Celsius, making it much more difficult to distribute.

    Moderna says it'll have 20 million doses of its two-shot vaccine available by the end of 2020 and 500 million to 1 billion doses in 2021. This is more in line with what we heard earlier for the other vaccine too.

    We still have a lot of ground to cover when it comes to making these vaccines and distributing them to different places, but it seems like it's going to happen sooner rather than later. Let's hope everything goes according to plan and we'll enter 2021 with high spirits.
