Apple and Samsung Develop Foldable Smartphones with Different Display Technologies

Rumors about Apple's foldable iPhone, dubbed the iPhone Fold, suggest a 2026 or 2027 launch featuring a 7.76-inch internal display and a premium price around $2,000. Meanwhile, Samsung's upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 8 will use a crease-less OLED panel with a metal reinforcing plate for durability. Apple is reportedly opting for glass reinforcement to enhance clarity, differing from Samsung's metal approach, though both use similar OLED technology supplied by Samsung Display.
