Leaker Fixed Focus Digital took to Weibo once again to spill some extra details on what to expect from Apple’s first foldable iPhone. Here’s what he said.
Virtually crease-free
Last year, a report from UDN claimed that Apple had made a breakthrough that would allow it to sport what would essentially be a crease-free iPhone Fold.
Now, leaker Fixed Focus Digital is offering what appears to be a concrete data point on Weibo:
“(…) The crease is controlled to under 0.15mm, with a fold angle below 2.5 degrees, so the overall product quality looks strong.”
In practical terms, these measurements correspond to the physical depth of the crease, and the tightness of the folding radius. With these measurements, the crease could potentially be barely noticeable to the eye and to the touch, which aligns with the previously reported breakthrough.
For reference, a sheet of paper is about 0.1mm thick, so in theory, the crease could feel subtler than sliding your finger over two stacked sheets of paper.
In his post, Fixed Focus Digital also says that “the production line has indeed seen manufacturing orders for Apple’s foldable display,” adding that the device is “confirmed to launch this year.”
This also aligns with previous reports, indicating that Apple’s foldable iPhone timeline and production process appear to be on track.
