Apple is reportedly testing a different type of flexible glass for the rumored foldable iPhone.
Digital Chat Station claims that the iPhone maker is evaluating an ultra-thin, flexible glass (UFG) panel designed to reduce the visibility of display creases. Several Chinese display makers are also said to be exploring the use of UFG.
Unlike Samsung’s foldable phones, which rely on ultra-thin glass (UTG) that gradually deforms along the hinge, UFG can distribute bending stress more uniformly across the entire panel. This approach could significantly minimise crease formation and potentially keep the display visually smooth even after long-term use.
