    Samsung Unpacked teaser


    They're actually proud that there is a big-ass line cutting through the display?

    Am I the only one who watched that and saw not a single folding display but a big dark gap, suggesting two separate displays attached by a non-display folding membrane?  Otherwise why would there be a dark area in the display?
    I thought the same thing as radar.

    Doesn't the iPhone screen bend-around on itself to allow rounded corners when viewed from above?

    It looks to be two of those very close together.  Not exactly foldable, but to be fair it is only a teaser ad...

    No the iPhone screen folds under itself to allow the display controller chip to be located underneath and thus enabling the screen to get closer to the edge - so that it didn't need the unnecessary asymmetrical chin of other manufacturers. A simple solution in retrospect, but nobody else considered it. The only remaining task is to shrink and move the truedepth modules further into the top bezel.

     I too thought the same thing regarding two separate displays.
