Samsung could supply custom displays for Apple's crease-free foldable iPhone: Kuo

Apple's long-anticipated foldable iPhone may feature a game-changing 'crease-free' display, thanks to a custom solution being developed by Samsung Display, according to noted supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. As reported byMacRumors, Apple's foldable iPhone, slated for mass production in the latter half of 2026, is expected to feature a custom-designed metal plate to manage the stress generated during screen folding. This innovation aims to tackle the persistent issue of visible creases seen in current foldable smartphones. The metal plate will reportedly be sourced mainly from Fine M-Tec, a supplier already linked to components used in Samsung's foldable displays. Curiously, Samsung's latest foldable flagship, the Galaxy Z Fold 7, still displays a noticeable crease along its inner screen, even though it also incorporates metal plates from Fine M-Tec. This has sparked speculation that Samsung Display may be working on a bespoke display solution designed specifically for Apple, prompting questions about why similar technology hasn't been introduced in Samsung's own foldable lineup. According to Kuo, Apple's upcoming alleged foldable will sport a 7.8-inch inner display and a 5.5-inch outer screen, complemented by two rear cameras, a single front-facing camera, and a power button integrated with Touch ID, a notable departure from the Face ID technology found in most recent iPhones. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman earlier reported that Apple is prioritising a high-quality hinge mechanism, which could further help in minimising or even eradicating the central crease, a feature often criticised in rival devices. Physically, the foldable iPhone is expected to measure 4.5mm in thickness when open, and around 9 to 9.5mm when folded. While this would make it marginally bulkier than Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 7 (which measures 4.2mm unfolded and 8.9mm folded), Apple appears to be focusing on durability and display integrity rather than shaving off millimetres. The move could represent Apple's most significant foray into the foldable market, and if the crease-free claim holds true, it could set a new benchmark in the segment.

Connected TVs boost purchase intent, especially among Gen Z: Research

A new study from Samsung Ads and Kantar, titled "Beyond Awareness," indicates that advertising on Connected TVs (CTVs) is effective in driving consumer purchase intent and brand favorability . The research, which analysed over 100 brand lift studies from campaigns on Samsung Smart TVs, shows CTV's role in influencing various stages of the consumer journey. The study found that CTV campaigns led to a 7.9 per cent uplift in consumer consideration . Notably, Gen Z (18 to 24 years old) showed a significant response, with an 8.5 per cent increase in purchase behavior and a 9.1 per cent rise in brand favorability after exposure to CTV ads. This highlights Gen Z as a responsive audience segment for CTV advertising. "The study reinforces the growing importance of Connected TVs as a key touchpoint for driving awareness and consideration," said Bhavna Saincher, head, insights and client solutions, Samsung Ads India. "The high engagement from Gen Z signals a major opportunity for brands targeting this digitally-native audience." Key findings from the study: Purchase intent uplift: Connected TV campaigns on Samsung Smart TVs deliver an overall 7.9 per cent uplift in consumer consideration, with Gen Z audiences showing up to an 8.5 per cent increase in purchase behavior. Impact of frequency: Campaigns that reach audiences four or more times can see a doubled impact across key performance indicators (KPIs), indicating the importance of optimal ad frequency. Broad industry effectiveness: CTV advertising shows substantial uplifts across various sectors, including consumer products, technology, automotive, apparel, and home solutions. It proves effective for both Gen Z and more than 35 age groups. Ebu Isaac, vice president, insights division, Kantar, noted, "As Connected TV becomes a full-funnel marketing channel, this study provides evidence of its value, especially in driving favorability and purchase intent among younger audiences. CTV offers a platform that combines precision, scaleand measurable impact."

‘Galaxy has played huge role in advancing Android as a whole': Samsung's Sally Jeong on partnership with Google

Samsung has been a long-standing innovator in the smartphone industry, and this innovation hasn't been limited to hardware evolution as the company has also consistently improved the Android software experience, a process that has been instrumental in advancing the Google-owned operating system as a whole, a top executive from the South Korean company has stated. Sally Hyesoon Jeong , EVP and Head of Framework R&D, Mobile eXperience Business, Samsun, further emphasised that the collaborative nature of the partnership between these two tech giants is far more extensive than commonly understood. 'Back in 2011, we launched Galaxy Note 2. My first Android device, so this is very special to me. We launched multi-window on the Galaxy Note 2. It gave people a new way to use a large screen and become a standard for the full mobile industry,' she told The Times of India Tech soon after the launch of the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Galaxy Z Flip7. Jeong explained how Android 12L brought convenient features for larger screens like taskbars and split screen layout in apps. She said that this collaboration didn't just benefit Galaxy users but also other Android makers and all Android users. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Get ₹2Cr life cover@ ₹700 p.m. ICICI Pru Life Insurance Plan Get Quote Undo 'I can say that the ideas that started with Galaxy have played a huge role in advancing Android as a whole. This has been possible thanks to our long-standing partnership with Google. By introducing new features on Galaxy first, we've been able to contribute to creating a better experience for all Android users,' she added. 'Samsung worked closely with Google for software on Galaxy Z Fold7' One of the main highlights of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is the deep integration of Google's Gemini AI capabilities , including Gemini Live, with OneUI 8. When asked about the next phase of Samsung-Google partnership in the foldable space, especially when Google is gradually scaling up its own foldable and smartphone lineup, Jeong said that both the companies will continue to work to continuously expand the ecosystem. 'In 2019, we introduced the world's first foldable device with new software like three-way, multi-window, and flex mode to match. So these kinds of new form factors work well when the Android ecosystem grows with them. So that's why we've always worked closely with Google,' Jeong added. 'Today, I'm really happy to share that our new foldable device comes with one UI 8 and Android 16 together,' she said. 'I can say that the ideas that started with Galaxy have played a huge role in advancing Android as a whole. This has been possible thanks to our long-standing partnership with Google. By introducing new features on Galaxy first, we've been able to contribute to creating a better experience for all Android users,' Jeong highlighted. Noting examples of Samsung-Google collaboration, Jeong said that the Now Bar, first shown on the Galaxy S25, was built together with Google. The feature started with Google Sports and Samsung apps, and now it's an official Android 16 feature so people can check live information more easily with richer applications like Uber and Lyft, globally. 'So, after years of work on large screens, we now have adaptive applications by default. This means Android is totally ready to look great on any screen,' Jeong said, adding that Samsung Galaxy 's DeX feature will now be a part of Android too. AI Masterclass for Students.
