iPhone Fold said to use dual-layer glass to reduce display crease | Infinium-tech
One of the biggest rumored features of Apple’s upcoming iPhone Fold, along with its wider aspect ratio, is minimal display creases. A new leak now sheds light on how the company can achieve this nearly crease-free design.
According to tipster Digital Chat Station, the foldable iPhone could use dual layers of ultra-thin glass (UTG) or ultra-foldable glass (UFG) to reduce creases on the internal display.
The display is reportedly located between layers of glass and does not come in direct contact with the hinge. According to the tipster, this approach could improve the durability of the flexible panel while keeping creases to a minimum over time. The foldable is also rumored to feature self-healing glass and seamless hinge design.
Last month, a rumor claimed that the internal display of the iPhone Fold would have a 0.15mm crease thanks to Samsung’s display. The foldable is also said to adopt the same display technology as Oppo’s Find N6.
The iPhone Fold is expected to be announced in September and may be priced at $1,999 in the US and around CNY 15,999 in China. It is rumored that it will have a 7.8-inch inner screen and a 5.49-inch cover display.
