The smartphone maintains an [ultra-thin construction](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/huawei-mate-70-air) that is made possible thanks to a [flexible OLED display](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/find-n5) that reveals ample space for getting tasks done, watching content and more. The device features the ability to be folded shut when not in use, which prompts a small external display on the rear to spring into action to provide information related to date, time and any incoming notifications. The iPhone Air concept is imagined in four color options that each have a metallic hue to make them each shimmer slightly in the light. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 66% | Activity: 63% | Freshness: 11% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Flexible OLED Displays:** Developing OLED displays that are flexible can enable a slimmer, foldable design for smartphones and other devices. - **Foldable Smartphones:** Foldable smartphones with a slim aesthetic could be the next-generation mobile solution for tech brands. - **External Displays for Smartphones:** Adding an external display to a smartphone when it's folded shut can provide users with quick information access and thus, enhance their user experience. ### Where This Applies - **Consumer Electronics:** The consumer electronics industry can benefit from the development of flexible OLED displays to make their devices more compact and portable. - **Mobile Devices:** The mobile device industry could focus on creating foldable smartphones that are easy to carry, use and offer enhanced functionality. - **Information Technology:** The Information Technology industry could focus on adding external displays to their smartphones to offer quick information access to their users and further improve their user experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Next-Generation Folding Smartphone Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-iphone-fold-concept.md) - [Hybrid Iphone Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iphone-fold-concept.md) - [Dual-Display Smartphone Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iphone-vision.md) - [Immersive Titanium Smartphone Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iphone-14-ultra-concept.md) - [Sleek Sliding Smartphone Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/conceptual-iphone-14.md) - [High-End Rugged Smartphone Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iphone-ultra-concept.md) - [Ultra-Sleek Smartphone Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iphone-16-pro-concept.md) - [Sculpted Designer Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iphone-15-pro-max-concept.md) - [Ultra Slim Light Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iphone-air-1.md)
