The inner screen will sit between two layers of ultra-thin glass

What to know

Apple's foldable iPhone places its inner screen between two layers of ultra-thin glass, keeping it away from the hinge, according to The Elec, a Korean tech news site.

The design spreads the stress of folding across more than one layer, which should improve durability and make the crease less visible over time. The Elec reported that Google, Oppo and Vivo plan to use the same method next year, with Samsung making the glass for them ahead of wide use in 2027.
