Apple is working on a foldable iPhone that would beat the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold Wide in repairability. Apple has had this device in the making for a long time, but leaks and rumors continue to increase its hype as it prepares to release it later this year with the iPhone 18 series.

The foldable iPhone is expected to look like the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide but with some aesthetic changes. However, one part of the design Apple is reportedly focusing on is the repairability.

According to Macrumors, the iPhone fold is undergoing rigorous design tests, and Apple is focusing specifically on its reparability without complicated cable pulling thanks to its highly modular design. It is mentioned that the device is the easiest folding screen phone in the industry for teardown and repairs.

Galaxy Z Fold 7

Last year, Samsung introduced the Z Fold 7. It has the thinnest frame and larger screens compared to previous generations, featuring high-resolution cameras and a faster processor. Despite these upgrades, the Z Fold 7 has a highly complicated disassembly. The Fixit has scored the Z Fold 7 three out of ten in its repairability score.

Its battery pull tabs aren’t sturdy, and if applied with extra pressure, could tear apart. Since pull tabs won’t work that great, the removal could damage the battery due to its sheer slim composition. On the other hand, the cover screen is also heavily glued.

The main display is surrounded by glued bezels with less margin. These bezels protect the screen from the edges. Furthermore, the screen is glued with a small assembly component, which could get damaged with even the slightest pressure.

So, it comes to design, Samsung may have a plan to improve this with the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Wide Fold devices, which we will compare with the Foldable iPhone.
