Apple's highly anticipated full-screen iPhone, also known as the screen-less glass iPhone, has hit a technological roadblock. The smartphone's release, which was initially planned for 2026, may be delayed due to various technical difficulties.
The primary issues include the immaturity of OLED screen waterproofing technology, the display's susceptibility to shape distortions caused by the edge adhesive, and the problem of electromagnetic interference caused by the borderless design. Apple is working closely with Samsung Display and LG Display to develop a new generation of screen technology.
Unlike companies like Samsung and Motorola, which have opted for a more aggressive approach by launching curved screen smartphones despite compromises in display quality and durability, Apple is taking a more cautious approach, prioritizing display quality and longevity. The company is slowly shrinking the phone's bezels, but a completely borderless design is still in the works.
