The crease looks completely invisible in a photo and almost so in a video \u2026<\/p>\n<p>Apple\u2019s quest for a creaseless display<\/p>\n<p>Even for a company with Apple\u2019s reputation of letting other companies launch first before it later follows with what it believes to be the best version, the wait for a folding iPhone has been a very lengthy one. Depending on exactly when Apple <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2025\/12\/16\/heres-everything-expected-from-next-years-iphone-fold\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">launches the iPhone Fold<\/a>, it will be six or <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2025\/12\/18\/heres-why-you-may-have-to-wait-until-2027-to-get-an-iphone-fold\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">seven years<\/a> after the first folding Android smartphone.<\/p>\n<p>One of the key reasons for that very long wait is that Apple reportedly rejected the idea of <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5google.com\/2022\/05\/24\/galaxy-z-fold-4-crease\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">a visible crease<\/a> in the center of the unfolded display. It tasked its display partner Samsung with creating a panel without a noticeable crease \u2013 something the Korean company had not yet achieved with its own folding phones.<\/p>\n<p>Samsung <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2025\/02\/25\/the-biggest-problem-with-a-folding-iphone-has-been-solved-says-new-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">reportedly achieved this<\/a> to Apple\u2019s satisfaction last year, and we later learned that this had been a sufficiently challenging task that the Cupertino company had to <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2025\/11\/25\/around-100-iphone-folds-made-after-breakthrough-in-eliminating-the-crease\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">get its own design engineers involved<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This is likely the iPhone Fold display<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/news\/856141\/samsung-display-creaseless-panel-foldable-iphone-ces\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">The Verge<\/a> reports that Samsung Display showed off a new folding screen at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) and said that there was no visible crease.<\/p>\n<p>A photo displayed by the company, shown at the top of the piece, looks extremely impressive. Even studying the full-size photo very closely, I can\u2019t see any sign of a crease. Indeed, if I hadn\u2019t known it was a folding display, I would never have guessed.<\/p>\n<p>Another photo shows the Galaxy Z Fold 7 display on the left, with a visible crease down the centre, and the prototype display on the right. The difference between the two is night and day.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"499\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Samsung-Display-crease-free-foldable-screen.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1034195\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>You can just about make out a crease in a video posted by SamMobile, who suggests Samsung will also use the display for the next version of the Z Fold.<\/p>\n<p>The new display appears to match the reported aspect ratio of the iPhone Fold. As additional evidence, The Verge reports that it was only briefly featured on the company\u2019s stand before it was quickly removed. It seems likely that a communication failure resulted in the team setting up the stand not realizing that what it calls its Advanced Creaseless Display was supposed to be kept under wraps for now.<\/p>\n<p>How tempted are you?<\/p>\n<p>Assuming this is indeed the iPhone fold display, how tempted are you now to buy one, even if it does turn out to be <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2025\/12\/17\/a-small-but-crucial-detail-provides-a-clue-on-iphone-fold-pricing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">eye-wateringly expensive<\/a>?<\/p>\n<p>Please share your reactions in the comments.<\/p>\n<p>Photos: Samsung Display.
