STATUS: NO CREASE REPORTS
creasegate (n.) — a hypothetical controversy, named in advance.
The setup
Apple's first foldable iPhone is expected in late 2026. Its entire premise, per a decade of reporting, is a display without the visible crease that marks every other foldable. Supply-chain leaks describe a crease depth under 0.15 mm and a fold angle under 2.5 degrees — numbers chosen to mean "invisible."

Frequently asked
What does "-gate" mean?
A suffix journalism attaches to controversies, from Watergate. Creasegate would be the name of a crease controversy — if one ever exists. As of today, none does.
Is there actually a creasegate?
No. This page tracks the question; the status line above is the current answer.
Is this site affiliated with Apple?
No. This is an independent watch page. It makes no claims about unreleased products beyond citing public reporting.
What would change the status?
Credible, verifiable reports — hands-on reviews, teardowns, or widespread user documentation — of a visible or worsening crease.
