The article discusses the potential of the iPhone Fold to enable thinner and brighter displays on future iPhone models like the iPhone Air 2, highlighting advancements in foldable screen technology.
Samsung Display has unveiled a new foldable OLED at CES 2026 that appears completely crease-free, thanks to a new metal plate design that reduces stress during folding. This innovation could be used in upcoming devices like the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Apple's first foldable iPhone, potentially revolutionizing foldable phone durability and design. However, its real-world durability remains to be seen.
The article discusses Apple's future plans for the iPhone, including the development of foldable screens and curved glass cases, providing insights into the company's upcoming innovations.
Allison Johnson discusses the unique appeal of flip phones, highlighting how their distinct form factor attracts attention in a market dominated by slab-style smartphones, and touches on the challenges faced by foldable phones like Samsung's early efforts.
Samsung Display has unveiled new OLED technologies, including a foldable OLED screen that can fold inwards and outwards, potentially eliminating the need for a separate cover screen in devices like smartphones and tablets. The company also showcased third-generation QD-OLED panels for TVs and monitors, as well as rollable and hybrid OLED panels for future devices. Additionally, Samsung Display is developing OLED panels for cars, and its UT (Ultra Thin) OLED panels for laptops are just 0.6mm thin, allowing for slimmer and more compact designs.
The launch of the Google Pixel Fold has been marred by limited inventory, delayed shipping dates, and reports of foldable screens breaking. Despite being a highly anticipated product, the Pixel Fold has not fully launched, with pre-orders experiencing cancellations and delivery date delays. The lack of availability and quality issues raise concerns about Google's ability to meet demand for a niche product. It is suggested that Google should have postponed the launch to address these issues and avoid negative publicity.
The Pixel Fold, Google's foldable phone, experienced display issues after just four days of light usage. The OLED screen died due to a puncture in the exposed OLED gap around the perimeter of the display, which is not covered by the protective plastic layer. This issue is common among foldable screens, and the Pixel Fold's display was built the same way as those of other companies, such as Samsung and BOE.
Researchers at the University of Chicago have developed a highly flexible and stretchable digital display material that emits a fluorescent pattern, with potential applications in wearable electronics, health sensors, and foldable computer screens. The material can bend in half and stretch to more than twice its original length while still emitting a clear image. The researchers combined knowledge from various fields to create a new class of material that integrates stretchable polymers and thermally activated delayed fluorescence, allowing for highly efficient light emission. The team is working on further developments, including additional colors and improved efficiency and performance.
Huawei launched new devices at its spring product launch event and claimed that Apple's market share will fall as soon as they release new phones. Huawei boasts superior technology in mobile phone signal, latency, camera aperture, and night vision telephoto lens. However, Apple still holds a strong position in the mobile phone market with a 23% market share and 75% share of the flagship market priced at $600 and above. Huawei has made a breakthrough with foldable screens and holds over half of the Chinese foldable phone market.
