US tech giant Apple on Wednesday unveiled its first foldable smartphone, iPhone Duo. Lingyi iTech secures its screen order!

Lingyi iTech is a leading enterprise in Dongguan precision manufacturing, supplying Apple with core precision components for its devices, including precision hinge components, screen support plates and ultra-thin heat spreaders.

The entry barriers for the foldable screen supply chain are relatively high. The hinge must withstand tens of thousands of opening and closing whilst maintaining precise and smooth operation, and the cooling system within the ultra-thin body must work continuously. These two aspects of engineering directly determine the success or failure of foldable screen devices.

As a major global manufacturing hub for smart devices, Dongguan boasts a comprehensive electronics and information technology supply chain, with a particularly strong industrial cluster specialising in smart devices—ranging from core components to the assembly of complete units. Lingyi iTech has established a large-scale production base in Huangjiang, Dongguan. By leveraging Dongguan’s well-established electronics manufacturing cluster, the company is able to source a wide range of precision components, significantly reducing R&D time. Furthermore, its proximity to Shenzhen enables the company to align cutting-edge technologies with market demands.
