Kuo: Galaxy Z Fold8 to introduce crease-free display before Apple
Samsung Display has been rumored to bring a crease-free folding screen for Apple’s foldable iPhone but a new report from Ming Chi-Kuo suggests the new gen panel will actually make its debut on next year’s Galaxy Z Fold8.

One of Samsung Display’s key suppliers, Fine M-Tec, announced that it would invest a reported KRW 17.5 billion ($12.6 million) to support growing demand for its new generation of laser-processed hinges. The company has developed an internal hinge utilizing laser-drilled metal plates, which will help guide stress distribution and offer enhanced crease resistance.
Fine M-Tec is expected to supply over 80% of the internal hinges for Apple’s folding iPhone display and Kuo is also confident it will be the exclusive supplier for the Z Fold8. The new report also suggests that Apple’s entry in the foldable phone market and its strict requirements for crease-free folding display will accelerate the adoption of laser-drilled display metal plates by competitors.

It's refreshing to see someone that actually thinks, in this comment section, instead of always looking to criticize and crap-talk.
