But the latest leak indicates a key feature of the iPhone Fold\u2019s display\u2014the crease free design\u2014is still very much in flux.<\/p>\n<p>Apple is still experimenting with solutions for \u2018crease-free\u2019 display on iPhone Fold<\/p>\n<p>Next fall, Apple is expected to launch its first ever foldable iPhone. And leaks about the device have been coming steadily in recent weeks.<\/p>\n<p>The latest comes from Weibo leaker Digital Chat Station, who <a href=\"https:\/\/weibo.com\/6048569942\/Qjg9Cvjl2\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">posted an update<\/a> on Apple\u2019s goal of a \u201ccrease-free\u201d design for the iPhone Fold\u2019s display.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a translated version of the post:<\/p>\n<p>Apple\u2019s goal for its foldable screen is indeed \u201ca crease-free visual experience,\u201d and they are currently experimenting with ultra-thin flexible glass (UFG) of varying thicknesses. There are still some technical challenges to overcome, but with a planned release in September of next year, there is still time.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, two domestic Chinese manufacturers are also evaluating UFG technology and have similar wide-fold testing solutions. If the supply chain technology is successfully developed, it\u2019s highly likely that we will see their products next year, competing directly with Apple.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s been widely reported <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2025\/03\/06\/apples-first-foldable-iphone-may-feature-crease-free-display-but-lacks-face-id-and-cost-more-than-2000\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">for some time<\/a> that a crease-free design was a key sticking point for Apple.<\/p>\n<p>The company has held off launching a foldable iPhone before now, despite competitors like Samsung offering foldables for years. One assumed reason is that the technology has only recently gotten to a point of enabling an \u201cApple quality\u201d foldable experience. A crease-free display is one example of that.<\/p>\n<p>Digital Chat Station doesn\u2019t seem concerned about the display design still being in flux. However, this report does lend further weight to <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2025\/12\/18\/heres-why-you-may-have-to-wait-until-2027-to-get-an-iphone-fold\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">recent commentary<\/a> that the iPhone Fold may be in short supply at launch.<\/p>\n<p>Apple may have more time yet to get the glass design finalized, but any delays could hinder production capacity further than analysts were already expecting.<\/p>\n<p>Is having a crease-free iPhone Fold display an important feature to you?
