Apple's foldable iPhone will likely launch this year as the iPhone Ultra.
KEY POINTS
- Apple solved the crease issue using multiple innovations, including a hi-tech optically clear adhesive (OCA).
- The OCA glue remains liquid enough to fill microscopic irregularities, minimizing visible creases.
- Apple's patents reveal a variable thickness ultra-thin glass design for improved bendability and impact resistance.
- TrendForce predicts Apple will capture about 20% of the foldable smartphone market this year.
