AROUND 100 IPHONE FOLDS MADE AFTER ‘BREAKTHROUGH' IN ELIMINATING THE CREASE

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

Apple's long-rumored iPhone Fold has advanced to engineering validation testing after a reported breakthrough that removes the visible crease common in foldable displays. Although Samsung manufactures the screen, Apple redesigned the panel structure, materials, lamination process, and hinge system to achieve a “crease-free” result. Foxconn has now set up a dedicated production line as the device moves into pre-production. The foldable iPhone—possibly called iPhone Ultra—is rumored to launch next year at a very high price, potentially around $2,400.
