Samsung Display has an exclusive contract with Apple to supply OLED panels with a virtually invisible screen crease for a foldable iPhone.<\/p>\n

BusinessKorea<\/em><\/a> reports that Samsung Display has won an exclusive contract to supply flexible OLED display panels for a foldable iPhone. South Korea\u2019s LG Display and China\u2019s BOE reportedly didn\u2019t meet Apple\u2019s strict specifications, but may join the supply chain for a foldable iPhone when they meet Apple\u2019s quality requirements.<\/p>\n

\u201cApple has decided to equip its first foldable iPhone, set for release in the latter half of next year, exclusively with OLED panels from Samsung Display,\u201d reads the report. \u201cThis decision marks a pivotal moment in the industry as Samsung Display will be the sole supplier, excluding LG Display and Chinese BOE panels,\u201d it continues.<\/p>\n

Samsung Display will help Apple minimize the screen crease in a foldable iPhone<\/h2>\n

According to an unnamed industry insider cited in the report, \u201cFor Apple, which prioritizes quality over price when selecting component suppliers, Samsung was the only viable choice.\u201d<\/p>\n

I find it interesting that Samsung hasn\u2019t yet minimized the crease on its own foldable smartphones, yet its display-making arm has managed to produce samples of foldable screens with a minimal crease that Apple has now approved.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s not surprising; Samsung Display has been the only company that\u2019s been capable of both continually investing in technologies like flexible OLED panels and churning out these things in volume.<\/p>\n

The first foldable iPhone could be priced between $2100 and $2300. If true, the foldable iPhone price could be about<\/a> ten precent higher than Samsung\u2019s Galaxy Z Fold 6, which starts at $1900 for the 256-gigabyte version, or $1000 more than the flagship $1600 1TB iPhone 16 Pro Max.<\/p>\n

Samsung Display has a technological edge<\/h2>\n

When the iPhone X brought OLED to the Apple smartphone in 2017, Samsung Display was initially an exclusive OLED supplier for the iPhone X for pretty much the same reasons: Only it could meet Apple\u2019s strict quality requirements and guarantee steady output to produce enough OLED panels to fulfill orders from Apple.<\/p>\n

Manufacturers like Samsung, Google and Oppo have been trying to minimize the screen crease with more or less success. The screen crease and the reliability of the hinges remain among the biggest complaints about foldable smartphones. The screen crease is still visible on the latest generations of foldable devices, like Samsung\u2019s Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Google\u2019s Pixel 9 Pro Fold.<\/p>\n

But thanks to continuing investment and innovation from suppliers like Samsung Display, LG Display and BOE, the crease is now harder to see than it ever was and isn\u2019t nearly as deep as before. On Oppo\u2019s Find N5, for example, the screen is almost invisible thanks to a custom hinge design.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
