Apple can take advantage of Samsung's latest foldable phone innovations as it delays iPhone Fold release.
Pushing back the release of the iPhone Fold provides Apple with a significant advantage: the opportunity to leverage the latest advancements in foldable phone technology. The Galaxy Z Flip 5 has already demonstrated improvements in its display crease, with the Flip 6 nearly eliminating it. In terms of battery life , the upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 7 is anticipated to build upon the progress made by its predecessor.
If Samsung incorporates these technological innovations into its foldable smartphones, it is reasonable to assume that the highly anticipated iPhone Fold will also benefit from some of these enhancements. Display analyst Ross Young revealed on X that Samsung will utilize CoE (Color-Filter-on-Thin-Film-Encapsulation) for the first time in the Galaxy Z Flip line, a technology currently employed in the latest Galaxy Z Fold devices. This move will eliminate the use of polarized and retardation film, resulting in significant efficiency gains, which should translate to substantial improvements in battery life. While the peak brightness is expected to remain at 2,600 nits, the adoption of CoE technology is expected to dramatically enhance energy efficiency. One of the primary drawbacks of foldable phones is their battery life (a concern shared by both Apple and Samsung, as both companies strive to create thinner devices), making it crucial that they implement software optimization alongside hardware advancements. Fortunately, the anticipated launch of the iPhone Fold in the fall of 2026 allows ample time to observe the potential improvements in the Galaxy Z Flip 7 lineup, followed by its 2026 successor. Current rumors suggest that Apple intends to utilize a crease-less foldable display, stainless steel-cased batteries with a combined capacity of approximately 5,000 mAh, and two main cameras, likely comparable to those found in the iPhone 18. We might glean insights into the iPhone Fold's technologies with the upcoming iPhone 17 Air, slated for release alongside the iPhone 17 lineup
