Apple is preparing to launch its first folding screen device in the second half of next year, relying significantly on Chinese manufacturer Lens Technology for ultra-thin glass (UTG) production. Lens Technology is projected to manage about 70% of Apple's UTG orders due to its expertise in mass production and glass technology.
