Apple is preparing to launch its first foldable iPhone. And as always, the company isn't taking the easy route. Instead of adopting existing concepts, Apple is focusing on new technologies, its own standards, and a collaboration with Samsung that is causing quite a stir. The iPhone Fold isn't just meant to be foldable\u2014it's meant to demonstrate how foldables should actually be built.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other manufacturers like Samsung and Oppo have already revised and improved their foldables several times. But Apple has remained completely silent so far. The reason: The company apparently didn't consider the technology mature enough. Now there are concrete indications that Apple has achieved a decisive breakthrough \u2013 specifically in one of its key components: the display. The iPhone Fold could thus be not just a new Apple device, but a turning point for the entire smartphone industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New display process with Apple patent<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The iPhone Fold's display is based on a special manufacturing process developed and trademarked by Apple. It meets high standards in terms of thinness, energy efficiency, and brightness. This clearly sets Apple apart from previous foldable displays, especially those in the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Samsung supplies the display \u2013 with new technology<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Samsung is Apple's partner for the foldable display, but according to a report, it has taken a decisive step: The touch sensor is integrated directly into the display, instead of being an additional layer on top, as in the Galaxy Fold models. This so-called in-cell touch technology makes the panel about 19 percent thinner than previous Galaxy Z Fold components. Integration into the TFT layer reduces the overall height, accelerates touch response, and eliminates the otherwise common lamination gap. This technology is particularly difficult to implement with foldable OLEDs, as they must withstand additional mechanical stress from the hinge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

iPhone Fold will be extremely thin \u2013 and almost wrinkle-free<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

According to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the iPhone Fold will be just 4.5 mm thin when unfolded and between 9 and 9.5 mm when folded. This makes it significantly thinner than the Galaxy Z Fold 6, which measures 12.2 mm when folded. Visually, the iPhone Fold will have a "bar-type" design, meaning it will look like a regular iPhone or iPad when opened. The typical crease in the middle, visible on many foldables, is said to be almost invisible here. Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman confirms this: The crease is barely noticeable (via Blog Naver<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
