LG Developing Foldable Screen For Apple

It is widely conceived now that Apple has commissioned LG Display, a major manufacturer in the display field, to develop folding panels/screens for it to make full preparations for the upcoming new flagship.

According to industry insiders, LG Display will assist Apple in the development of folding screen mobile phone screens. However, it is currently unclear whether LG Display will become Apple’s mass-produced manufacturer after it develops folding screen panels.

Previously, it was reported that Samsung was a supplier of Apple’s folding screens and provided a variety of folding screen samples to Apple for testing last year.

It is worth noting that Omdia, an authoritative research organization for global communications and digital media, recently stated that Apple is expected to launch its first folding screen iPhone in 2023.

According to reports, the folding screen iPhone will be equipped with a 7.3-inch-7.6 -inch foldable flexible OLED screen and will support Apple Pencil.

In addition, Apple will adopt an up-and-down folding design similar to the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip to reduce the overall size of the phone by folding the screen, thereby enhancing its portability. It is worth mentioning that there is news that Apple has developed a new hinge technology that can hide the hinge almost perfectly inside the device.

Compared with the design of Samsung Galaxy Z Flip, Apple’s new hinge technology can make the appearance of the phone more harmonious and complete, while preventing dust from entering the hinge and improving the durability of the hinge.
