The crease appears after months of use on other phones, so I'm curious what it would look like after a little bit of wear.

Yeah, I'm interested but I'll definitely give it a year or two for other people to discover any durability problems before committing (plus it's missing a lens option compared to the 18 Pro but that's a minor quibble.)

Gotta hold something back for next years magical update!

It does make me wonder if the era of foldable phones is finally here. Apple probably wouldn't bother making one if the tech wasn't there yet, despite the questionable experimentals others have been peddling for years now. Or it's a sign of Apple dropping their standards perhaps.

I guess the apple making Vision Pro shows that VR tech is here?

Apple isn't omnipotent, they have misses too.

Apple tv was a miss as well for like 4 generations.

I mean, their implementation was the best in the industry. The tech wasn't what held it back.

I would argue that the tech being top notch doesn’t mean it isn’t what’s holding it back.

The tech just isn’t there yet. Apple tends to wait until it is.

Months is a long time. You're supposed to return your iphone to apple and get a newer one as per your subscription.

Planned Obsolescence strikes again!

Z fold 8 comes slightly creased out of box, and creases within a week [1]. My 7 was significantly creased out of the box!

Based on rumours Samsung finally cracked the secret on removing creases…iPhone is just the latest model on the market with the technology from them.

That said..I believe I’ve also seen some Chinese models ready claim this.
