Apple’s foldable iPhone is still a work in progress, with leaks suggesting the company isn’t satisfied with current crease-reduction solutions.
Apple’s foldable iPhone ambitions hinge on solving the display crease, and the company appears willing to delay until the technology meets its standards for physical durability and visual consistency.
Apple is known to take its time in adopting new technology on its devices. Whether it was the OLED screen or 120Hz refresh rate, the Cupertino giant ran behind Android manufacturers by a couple of years. However, in doing so, the company always tries to improve the implementation and make the technology even more useful.
According to Chinese tipster Digital Chat Station (DCS), Apple is currently experimenting with ultra-thin, flexible glasses of variable thickness for the main screen of its purported foldable. While the company is facing technical challenges in eliminating the crease, it is on the right track and could produce a crease-free foldable in 2026.
