Apple's iPhone Ultra Crease Fix Set for Android Foldables Next Year

[Unregistered 4U]

It is just copying the UTG from Samsung fold 8 and fold 8 ultra.. read up on that tech and it's the same thing, just branded for Apple.. I bought the 1TB ultra and it looks really nice, I didn't want to get the regular Fold because Apple is coming out with the same thing, and wanted something different. With my battery tweaks, I get 13 hours SOT (deep doze, and others), which beats out the iphone 17 (and I'm guessing 18) pro max, because you can't change things on Apple side.

If the rumor is accurate and it uses two UTG layers, then that seems to be different. Still searching for details on the fold 8 ultra’s screen, though.

I think they are using the same technology for UTG though, just two layers. You guys are right.

This season of YouTube iPhone "reviews" (really just promo videos masquerading as reviews) will be hilarious I'm sure.

There will be no crease.
It will be "magic".

Apple will have done it as "only Apple can".

on and on

The smart money will stay on the sidelines for a few months to see real, normal, people discuss the situation.

So how will Apple's new ceo introduce this?

Jobs style would be presenting the phone in all its glory and then mentioning the patents on it that they will vigorously defend.

Cook style would be someone else presenting the phone and then discussing some of the technical advantages of it. Be sure to include a diagram or two.

I don’t really care about the foldable, but I think iFlipFlop would be a cool name 🙂

They're saving that for the shoes with cameras.

What, you're not waiting for iJustine to tell you whether you like it or not?

For me the test will be going into the local carrier store in a few months and seeing whether the display model even works.

But based on peoples' reaction to the latest Samsung foldable, I think it's going to sell well, crease or no.

Apparently most people are not nearly as sensitive to display quality and "defects" as I am.

I’ll believe it when I see it, every foldable so far has promised to reduce or even eliminate the crease and they have all failed so far

And hopefully with 3 flagship cameras and face id (unlikely...)

Face ID doesn’t make sense with two screens. You’d need two Face ID modules as well.
