One of the most well-known leakers on the Apple rumor network has indicated that the next foldable iPhone will use an advanced, thin display technology manufactured by Samsung, and that it will be much better than the one used in the Galaxy Fold. Based on supply chain sources, those in Cupertino will have finalized the construction of their foldable iPhone with all the necessary elements to make it as perfect as possible.
The foldable iPhone’s screen will be unique, better than the Galaxy Fold’s.
Perhaps the most curious thing about this is that Samsung will be the only one responsible for this, based on the wishes of those in Cupertino. We know that Apple has been patient when it comes to launching certain products. We’ve seen that its approach has been to wait and see in order to launch something better instead of being the first and failing miserably.
It has been previously reported that they were unhappy with the display results of foldable devices, the most bothersome feature being the visible crease. Apple went out of its way to ask its suppliers to address this, and Samsung did so specifically in February.
The information that yeux1122 brings us this time is that those in Cupertino wanted to reduce the screen size to try to reduce the fold so that it would be as compact as possible, something that the South Korean brand also achieved without problem. According to their information, it’s a new screen that has never been considered for any Samsung product. An interesting fact is that the touch sensor is part of the integrated screen itself, so no additional layer will be added. This has managed to reduce the thickness of the device itself, and the weight is much better than other foldable devices.
Samsung will sooner or later benefit from this technology requested by Apple.
A report seen by a leaker on X indicates that Samsung’s new Galaxy Z Fold 7 will be the world’s thinnest foldable at 3.9 mm thick when unfolded and 8.9 mm when closed. Which would indicate that it could soon benefit from the technology commissioned by Apple. Of course, it is using it within its rights as its creator, although we do not know how they will differ from each other.
Recall that the Cupertino company has named its display technologies “Retina” in multiple variations. From “Liquid Retina,” “Super Retina,” “ProMotion” when referring to the 120 Hz display, among others. Once the foldable iPhone is released, comparisons will be made between foldable devices from every possible brand to demonstrate whether Apple achieved its goal of being the best option or was a somewhat failed attempt.
