Apple iPhone Ultra Could Debut With Advanced Hinge for an Almost Crease-Free Foldable Display
Apple iPhone Ultra May Arrive With a Nearly Invisible Display Crease, New Leak Suggests
Apple’s long-rumoured foldable iPhone continues to generate speculation ahead of its expected debut, with fresh information hinting at a significant display upgrade. The device, which is widely referred to as the iPhone Ultra, is tipped to feature one of the flattest foldable screens in the smartphone industry, potentially minimizing the visible crease that has long been associated with foldable devices.
According to tipster Fixed Focus Digital on Weibo, Apple is exploring new engineering solutions to achieve a smoother folding display. The leak claims the company is testing two different manufacturing approaches aimed at reducing the crease, with the goal of delivering a display that appears almost seamless when unfolded.
One of the technologies reportedly under consideration is a “liquid metal” hinge, which could improve the durability and structural stability of the foldable mechanism while helping the display maintain a flatter surface. If implemented, the design may allow the iPhone Ultra to compete with the best foldable smartphones currently available in terms of display quality and overall user experience.
The foldable iPhone is expected to debut alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max, although Apple has yet to officially confirm its plans. As with previous leaks, these details should be treated with caution until the company makes an announcement. Nevertheless, the latest report suggests Apple is prioritizing a premium foldable design that could set a new benchmark for crease reduction in the category.
