A rumor in the technology circle recently sparked heated discussions: Apple's foldable screen mobile phone has completely solved the crease problem. This news instantly ignited the public's expectations for Apple's first foldable screen product, but how credible is this statement?

You know, since the advent of foldable screen mobile phones, the crease has been like a "Sword of Damocles" hanging high, always troubling the entire industry. Does Apple really have the ability to completely overcome it?

At present, most foldable screen mobile phones use flexible OLED screens. Although flexible OLED is bendable compared to traditional hard glass, which makes it possible for mobile phones to fold, the internal organic materials and film layers will be subjected to stress concentration during repeated bending.

Apple's technical reserves and innovative ideas: Can it "take a different approach"?

Apple has always been known for its strong R&D strength and innovative spirit. In the development of foldable screens, Apple has invested a lot of energy and holds a number of related patents to provide technical support for solving the crease problem.

From the patent information, Apple has many unique ideas. For example, some patents mention the introduction of self-healing materials in the screen cover layer, and the self-repair of the screen crease is achieved by applying heat, light, current and other stimuli externally.

This self-healing material layer, whether covering the entire screen or acting only on the flexible area, can theoretically actively repair the crease when it first appears to keep the screen flat.

Combined with Apple's innovations in screen coatings and hinge structures, efforts from both materials and structures are expected to significantly improve the crease problem.

Realistic considerations: It is too early to "completely solve" the problem

Although Apple has been making continuous efforts in technology research and development and supply chain collaboration, it may be too optimistic to say that the crease problem has been completely solved at this stage. From the perspective of industry experience, there is often a gap between laboratory data and actual product performance.

Apple may have made significant progress in the folding screen crease problem, and technical reserves and supply chain collaboration also provide possibilities for improving the crease, but there is still a way to go to "completely solve" the crease problem.

Let us wait and see how Apple's folding screen mobile phone will perform in the future and whether it can break through the industry bottleneck of crease.
