Apple’s foldable iPhone could launch without a visible crease

Apple has reportedly eliminated the crease on its upcoming foldable iPhone, which could launch in 2026. Here's what to expect from the device.

Apple appears to have cracked one of the biggest challenges with foldable phones—visible creases on the screen. Unlike other foldable devices, Apple aims to create a seamless display that looks like a single, unbroken piece of glass. Remarkably, the company has reportedly achieved this against all odds.

Samsung Display meets Apple’s high standards

According to a report from ETNews, Apple has been working closely with Samsung Display to develop a crease-free foldable screen. Samsung Display has now met Apple’s strict technical requirements, with the latest foldable display samples showing significant improvements.

An industry insider revealed that the “wrinkles have disappeared with [the latest design]”, thanks to a collaboration between Samsung Display and hinge supplier Amphenol. This breakthrough brings Apple one step closer to launching its first foldable device.

With the crease issue nearly solved, Apple is now focusing on finalising its supply chain. Reports suggest that Apple aims to complete this process by April, setting the stage for a product launch next year.

The foldable iPhone could launch in 2026

There has been much speculation about when Apple will introduce its foldable iPhone. Multiple sources indicate that the device could arrive in 2026 at the earliest. Bloomberg expects a 2026 launch, while The Wall Street Journal suggests it could be released in 2026 or 2027.

As for the design, Apple’s foldable iPhone is expected to resemble the Google Pixel Fold, featuring a 5.49-inch cover display and a 7.74-inch foldable screen. The device will likely appeal to gamers, software developers, and users prefer large-screen smartphones.

With Apple’s reputation for innovation, this foldable iPhone could redefine the market and set new standards for foldable technology. A seamless foldable iPhone may not be too far away if the reports are accurate.
