Vivo X Fold 5 To Debut June 25 With Unexpected Apple Ecosystem Support

Vivo is set to unveil its next foldable smartphone, the Vivo X Fold 5, on June 25 at 7 PM in China. Unlike most foldable smartphones, which pay attention to performance and aesthetics, this device is making headlines for a different reason—compatibility with Apple devices. For the first time on Android, the X Fold 5 is expected to support Apple Watch integration, iCloud, iPhone text messaging, and Mac screen extension. This move boldly attempts to breach Apple’s closed ecosystem and indicates a fundamental change in cross-platform compatibility.  

Apple Watch and iCloud Support on Android?

In an unexpected disclosure, Vivo's product manager Han Boxiao announced that the X Fold 5 will be the first Android phone that can interface with Apple services and devices. Significant features include:  

• Apple Watch integration for receiving calls and messages alongside health data syncing.
• iCloud compatibility, allowing users to access files and media 
• Call and text relaying from an iPhone to the Vivo device. 
• Mac screen extension, allowing users to utilize the foldable as a secondary display

While technical details are not fully disclosed, this level of integration could drastically shift the way Android and Apple ecosystems interact.
