US EditioniPhone Fold’s key display breakthrough may still be in flux, per leak
Apple aims to eliminate the visible crease on foldable iPhones using ultra-thin flexible glass, targeting a 2026 launch with a design still undergoing final testing.
- In recent weeks, Weibo leaker Digital Chat Station reported Apple aims for a 'crease-free visual experience' for the iPhone Fold, with leaks appearing steadily.
- Apple delayed earlier foldable launches until the technology recently met its standards, with one assumed reason being the tech only recently enabled an 'Apple-quality' experience.
- Engineers are testing uneven-thickness ultra-thin flexible glass panels that thin at the folding area and thicken elsewhere to distribute bending stress and in theory reduce the crease.
- Apple is transitioning into early production validation with some components still in final qualification, and reports place an expected 2026 launch alongside iPhone 18 Pro models but warn of possible short supply at launch.
- Two domestic Chinese manufacturers and multiple Chinese display makers are evaluating UFG; if supply-chain technology succeeds, rivals could ship foldables next year while Apple plans liquid metal hinges and $2,000 to $2,500 pricing.
