They were very evasive on what the inner screen was made of. I'm going to assume its the same plastic all the other folding phones are made of.

Evasive? They literally discussed the layers of materials, with the outer being a polymer.

They went in pretty extensive detail for the internal parts of the folding screen?

They talked for several minutes on the materials and engineering that went into the screen and how it wasn't "the same plastic all the other folding phones are made of"

Modern foldables use ultra-thin glass (UTG). There’s a factory-installed screen protector layer on top which can make it feel plasticy.

Doesn't removing the "screen protector" destroy the pixels? Or was that just some early Samsungs? (that made an important built-in layer look like a screen protector)

Yea, it’s not supposed to be removed.

		I was hopeful that the Apple foldable would use glass as the top layer so it doesn't get scratched. Plastic does not inspire confidence; no coating can actually protect it from damage because it can still simply get plastically squished.
