Apple May Have Finally Solved the Biggest Issue With Folding Phones

Team My Mobile

February 26, 2025

Highlights

Apple is reportedly satisfied with the latest display samples and has achieved a significant reduction in the crease on foldable screens.
The breakthrough was achieved through a collaboration between Samsung and hinge supplier Amphenol.
Apple is likely to launch its first foldable iPhone in the second half of 2026.

It is no surprise that Apple is taking its time to come out with a foldable iPhone. The brand is known for preferring to perfect the technology rather than rush to market. One of the biggest reasons for the delay with the foldable iPhone is Apple’s dislike for the crease we see on the display of current foldable devices.

Foldable phones have long struggled with a visible crease running down the middle of the screen when unfolded. Apple reportedly found this issue unacceptable and pushed its display suppliers to find a way to minimize it.

Even Samsung, Apple’s most advanced display supplier, hasn’t been able to completely eliminate the crease in its own foldables. Apple was reportedly so unhappy with early samples that it sent suppliers back to the drawing board a year ago.

The Foldable Display Crease Issue Is Solved?

According to a new report from ETNews, Apple is now satisfied with the latest display samples from Samsung. The report highlights, “Apple put forward a difficult technical requirement to overcome the weakness of a foldable phone with wrinkles on the folded screen, and it is said that it is close to the desired level.”

An industry official said to ETNews, “In order to differentiate itself from the existing foldable phone, Apple decided to eliminate wrinkles regardless of price,” and “I understand that wrinkles have disappeared with [the latest design].”

The breakthrough reportedly came from a collaboration between Samsung and hinge supplier Amphenol, which also makes MacBook hinges.

Oppo’s Latest Foldable Shows Signs Progress

The recent launch of Oppo Find N5 suggests real progress in foldable display technology.

According to 9to5Google, the crease on Oppo’s latest foldable is dramatically improved compared to last year’s Samsung foldable. The 9to5Google report mentions, “The inner screen is a truly massive canvas and one that goes mostly uninterrupted by the display crease. It’s not invisible, but it’s also hard to see, even at off-angles.”

“It also makes going back to my Galaxy Z Fold 6, the foldable I personally purchased last year, looks like a cheap knock-off by comparison. Samsung’s deep crease and thick hardware aren’t inherently terrible, but they feel like a ripoff when you see what foldable technology is actually capable of today,” the report adds.

2026 Launch Now Likely

There have been mixed reports on when the first folding iPhone will arrive with estimates ranging from 2026 to 2027. However, ETNews now suggests 2026 is more likely, as Apple is reportedly finalising its supply chain by April, something it typically does 12-18 months before a product launch.

This lines up with a second-half 2026 release.

While nothing is confirmed yet, it looks like Apple is finally making serious progress on its first foldable iPhone.

FAQs

Q1. What is the main reason for the delay in Apple’s foldable iPhone?

Answer. One of the biggest reasons for the delay is Apple’s dislike for the crease seen on the display of current foldable devices.

Q2. How did Apple manage to solve the foldable display crease issue?

Answer. The breakthrough came from a collaboration between Samsung and hinge supplier Amphenol, which also makes MacBook hinges.

Q3. When is Apple’s first foldable iPhone expected to launch?

Answer. The first foldable iPhone is now likely to launch in the second half of 2026, as Apple is reportedly finalizing its supply chain by April.

Google May Replace SMS Authentication for Gmail With QR Codes

Google plans to replace SMS-based authentication for Gmail with QR codes.
The aim is to improve security and tackle SMS-related fraud as revealed by a Forbes report.
SMS authentication has several risks including phishing attacks, device accessibility issues and carrier vulnerabilities.

Google is reportedly planning to replace SMS-based authentication for Gmail with QR codes to improve security and tackle SMS-related fraud. A report by Forbes’ Davey Winder based on their discussions with Google insiders claims the SMS codes are being dropped.

SMS authentication has been widely used, but it has several security flaws. Gmail spokesperson Ross Richendrfer explained, “Just like we want to move past passwords with passkeys, we want to move away from sending SMS messages for authentication.”

“Over the next few months, we will be reimagining how we verify phone numbers,” Richendrfer told Forbes. “Specifically, instead of entering your number and receiving a 6-digit code, you’ll see a QR code being displayed, which you need to scan with the camera app on your phone,” they added.

Google’s Current Verification Method

Google currently uses SMS verification for two main reasons. One is security as SMSs are used to verify a user’s identity. The other reason is abuse control, which means SMS authentification is to prevent fraudulent Gmail account creation for spam and malware distribution.

However, SMS-based authentication comes with risks including phishing attacks, accessibility issues and carrier hacks. These are as explained below –

Phishing Attacks – Hackers can trick users into revealing their codes.
Device Accessibility Issues – Users may not always have access to the phone receiving the SMS.
Carrier Vulnerabilities – Cybercriminals can deceive mobile carriers into transferring phone numbers, bypassing SMS security.

Another rising threat is traffic pumping also called toll fraud. It is when scammers trick services into sending massive amounts of SMS messages to numbers they control profiting from each message.

Google To Use QR Codes as the New Authentication Method

To counter all the above-mentioned risks, Google seems to be planning to introduce QR code-based authentication in the coming months. Instead of receiving a 6-digit SMS code, users will scan a QR code with their phone’s camera.

This change offers two major benefits, which includes –

Better Phishing Protection – Without a fixed code, hackers have nothing to steal.
Less Dependence on Mobile Carriers – This eliminates the risk of SIM-based fraud.

Richendrfer noted, “SMS codes are a source of heightened risk for users. We’re introducing an innovative approach to shrink the attack surface and keep users safer.”

Google hasn’t given an exact launch date for this update, but more details are expected soon. FoneArena report notes that this change in authentication method aligns with Google’s broader move toward more secure authentication methods such as passkeys and biometrics.

FAQs

Q1. What authentication method is Google planning to replace for Gmail?

Answer. Google is planning to replace SMS-based authentication for Gmail with QR codes to improve security and tackle SMS-related fraud.

Q2. What are the security flaws associated with SMS-based authentication?

Answer. SMS authentication has risks including phishing attacks, device accessibility issues and carrier vulnerabilities such as SIM-based fraud.

Q3. How will QR codes benefit Gmail authentication?

Answer. QR codes offer better phishing protection and reduce dependence on mobile carriers, eliminating the risk of SIM-based fraud.

Q4. Has Google provided a launch date for the QR code-based authentication update?

Answer. No, Google hasn’t given an exact launch date for the QR code-based authentication update but more details are expected soon.
