The iPhone Fold\u2019s delay is largely due to Apple\u2019s persistence in wanting a design that will stand out from the competition while also using the best possible components to prolong the flagship\u2019s lifespan. Unfortunately, it isn\u2019t easy to develop a crease-free display because there are many moving parts at play, but a new rumor claims rivals will likely adopt the same solution, hinting that the iPhone Fold<\/a>\u00a0will flaunt a superior design.<\/p>\n

Despite Apple rumored to be experiencing some quality control problems with the \u2018rattling\u2019 hinge<\/a>, this piece appears to be the solution to the iPhone Fold\u2019s crease-free display. Till now, no foldable smartphone manufacturer has been able to minimize that \u2018line\u2019 blemish that appears in the center of the inner display, but based on various reports and rumors, Apple has solved this obstacle through the use of a liquid metal hinge, not to mention using Ultra-Thin Glass (UTG) of varying thicknesses<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The hinge is also said to be one of the more pricier parts of the iPhone Fold, with a unique mechanism that improves the durability of the inner OLED too during regular use. There have been instances when, after a certain amount of time, foldable Android smartphones\u2019 displays began cracking due to an inferior hinge, so adopting this technology is in the best interest of Apple\u2019s competitors.<\/p>\n

\"iPhone<\/a><\/p>\n

For Apple, its brand image carries greater meaning, which is why adopting a liquid metal hinge to increase the iPhone Fold\u2019s durability is of paramount importance. After all, a ton of moving parts inside the company\u2019s first foldable flagship will eventually begin to wear and tear, but as long as it can hold out for several years to the point that the customer is already hunting for a newer model, the iPhone Fold\u2019s premium price will be justified.<\/p>\n

For now, only Samsung is reported to have adopted Apple\u2019s wide folding design with a competitor of its own<\/a>, but there\u2019s no confirmation on whether the company will switch to the improved liquid metal hinge. As always, we recommend readers treat this rumor with a pinch of salt, and we\u2019ll return with more updates.<\/p>\n
