TL;DR
- Apple is rumored to have exhausted its in-house options for a crease-less display for its upcoming iPhone Fold.
- According to a rumor, Apple might have torn apart the OPPO Find N5 to determine what makes the screen bulge so little.
- Apple is also rumored to be using a Samsung-made display for its upcoming iPhone Fold.
It’s no secret that Apple is heavily invested in launching its first folding iPhone soon. It’s expected to launch in 2026 and will adopt a wider aspect ratio than most book-style foldables, so the iPhone unfolds into a layout somewhat similar to that of an iPad Mini. And one of its priorities is likely to build a folding inner screen without a visible crease.
In the pursuit of building the perfect, crease-free iPhone Fold, Apple is supposedly tinkering with existing foldables from other brands. Based on a rumor shared by a Weibo account with the username “Fixed-focus digital cameras,” Apple tore apart an OPPO Find N5 while trying to decode what enables the screen’s crease to be so minimal.
