Foldable iPhone screen disappoints

While Apple is reportedly developing its own design for a foldable iPhone display without a crease, it is once again expected to use screens developed by Samsung Display.

In February, it was reported that Apple had significantly improved the new generation of foldable screens and had found a way to reduce creases after continuous use. However, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo recently said that the company will not use this new technology for the foldable iPhone.

Specifically, in a note dated July 15, Kuo said Apple is now expected to use Samsung Display's design to ensure mass production can start on schedule, ensuring the launch of the foldable iPhone in the second half of 2026.

Kuo also describes Samsung Display's design for the foldable iPhone as a "zero-crease display solution." According to the analyst, this design specifically prevents creases by keeping the display from bending beyond its limits.

Rumors of a foldable iPhone have been circulating for years, though no concrete progress has been made. While many Android manufacturers have been releasing foldable smartphones, Apple has remained relatively quiet.

In early July, DigiTimes, citing supply chain sources, reported that Apple is indeed developing a foldable iPhone. The device entered the first prototype development stage (Prototype 1 - P1) in mid-June.

Each prototype development phase typically takes about two months, during which supply chain partners test the device’s functionality before handing it over to Foxconn and Pegatron, which are responsible for assessing its suitability for mass production.

If all goes according to plan, the product could complete the prototype testing phase by the end of 2025, moving into the EVT (Engineering Validation Testing) process, paving the way for a possible launch by the end of 2026.
