Apple's Foldable iPhone Crease Fix Set for Android Foldables Next Year

This will be a good product to get the second version after these have undergone a year of real world use.

It is just copying the UTG from Samsung fold 8

It literally isn’t, read the article.
The Fold 8 has one single layer of UTG with the display underneath it.
The iPhone reportedly has multiple layers, one above the display and one below the display, mixed with an Apple designed, Apple patented liquid metal infused hinge that Samsung has absolutely no access to.
All Samsung is doing is the mass production, the idea that this is just a Samsung phone with an Apple logo stamped on the back is just a myth.
If Apple was just simply copying Samsung’s homework, they would have released a folding phone five years ago. Instead, they’ve waited almost a decade since the first galaxy fold launched.

Everyone please skip this version. It will make my chances of getting a launch day one that much easier.

I would be much more worried about damage from debris getting stuck between the two sides. Not sure why the "crease" is such a big deal.

I can't wait to see "One year with an iPhone Ultra" YT reviews.

This time Apple leads the way. Bravo

Where it counts. And this is Apple’s typical MO.

Samsung has had a foldable phone for years. Does it work? Yes. But there are limitations on the quality of the workmanship and durability. I’m not calling Samsung’s folding phone sub standard. But as executed it wouldn’t meet Apple’s standards.

Apple doesn’t rush things like this to market. They let the technology mature a bit, see where market trends go and let their competitors absorb the first rounds of real world use to see what works and what doesn’t.

Then, when Apple decides to “do” a certain tech like a folding phone they’re perfecting a relatively mature technology. Apple’s folding phone won’t be perfect out of the gate. I have no doubt and to be honest it’s not for me. I’m getting and 18PM.

But Apple’s execution of the technology will be state of the art. It will bring features to the table that those early execution competitors didn’t. Then those competitors will copy what Apple perfected.
