Samsung revises its plans in the face of Apple's folding iPhone

-

Apple is banking on a crease-free screen to make a big impact by 2026!



Rumors surrounding Apple's foldable iPhone are gaining momentum every month. Imagine a smartphone with no visible creases on the screen, unlike current models on the market. The Cupertino company is aiming to achieve just that perfection for its upcoming foldable device, scheduled for 2026.

This quest for excellence is confirmed today by a significant financial announcement . This is a major investment made by Fine M-Tec, a key supplier in the folding screen production chain.

Ming-Chi Kuo has announced today via a publication that the Apple supplier has just made a 17.5 billion Korean won investment to develop its high-precision laser processing capabilities.

Cutting-edge technology to eliminate creases

Fine M-Tec's investment, which will run from July 2025 to January 2027 , confirms analyst Ming-Chi Kuo's predictions that Apple's stringent requirements for crease-free manufacturing would accelerate the adoption of laser drilling for the production of metal display plates.

Note that this laser drilling technology allows for the manufacture of special metal plates for displays. These plates are crucial for achieving a perfectly flat surface once the device is unfolded. The foldable iPhone could thus display a 7.8-inch screen without any visible fold marks.

This news aligns with previous rumors suggesting a foldable iPhone with a flawless 7.8-inch display. Apple appears to be favoring a book-style design over a clamshell model like the Galaxy Z Flip. The release is still slated for late 2026 or early 2027, giving Cupertino time to fine-tune every detail.

Samsung forced to adapt to Apple threat

Faced with the expected arrival of the foldable iPhone, Samsung is already preparing its response. The Korean giant will also adopt laser-drilled metal plates for its Galaxy Z Fold 8, while the Galaxy Z Fold 7 has only just been released.

Let's be clear, though, that it was Apple that paved the way for this type of flawless screen , because the Z Fold 8 will probably be released before the folding iPhone.

This strategic decision by Samsung illustrates the impact Apple can have on the market even before its product launches. With these massive investments in production technology, the foldable iPhone seems destined for great success.

Apple has just released a new version of iPadOS, fueling rumors of a merger between the iPad and Mac. During the iPadOS 26 presentation, one question kept coming up. Why doesn't Apple merge its iPad and Mac lines? As the years go by, the two products have become more and more similar, to the point of similar uses. One of the first steps Apple took to bring iPads and Macs closer together was, of course, the launch of accessories for its tablet. A keyboard and trackpad, for starters. Then, Apple Silicon chips arrived in iPads. Today, it's the entire operating system that's evolving. At  WWDC on June 9th  , Apple unveiled a heavily modified version  of iPadOS  . In this new version, the Cupertino company added a menu bar, bringing the two devices even closer together. Apple holds its line Despite the obvious similarities between iPads and Macs, which Apple no longer even tries to hide, the brand's executives insist that the two products can coexist. For Craig Federighi,...
