Apple's Foldable iPhone: Liquid Metal Hinge Aims to Eliminate Creases and Redefine Durability

Apple is reportedly developing a foldable iPhone with a focus on eliminating screen creases using a liquid metal hinge.

  • The innovative hinge, produced by Dongguan EonTec, aims for a thinner, more durable design.

  • The foldable iPhone is rumored to feature a 7.8-inch internal and 5.5-inch external screen, with a slim profile of 4.5 mm when open and 9.5 mm when folded.

  • It may include Touch ID instead of Face ID to maintain its compact design.

  • Mass production is expected to begin in late 2026, with a potential launch in 2026 or 2027.

  • The device aims to minimize visible folding marks, addressing a common issue in current foldable models like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold.

Apple aims to perfect foldable technology, potentially leading to more compact versions like an iPhone Flip in the future.
