According to Sammobile, Samsung has somehow confirmed that it’s working on a foldable display technology intended for Apple products.
When it comes to rivalry in the smartphone market, Apple and Samsung are the first names that come to mind. The American giant and the Korean OEM have been tough rivals in the market. But it’s no surprise to know that Samsung produces over 70% of the OLED panels used in the iPhone 14 series. The partnership between Apple and Samsung might now expand to foldable displays.
The information comes from an image taken at the SID Review Workshop in Seoul. The image shows Samsung Display is developing a large foldable screen for Apple. However, this foldable panel might be used on a laptop instead of a smartphone. So maybe it’s not far-fetched to picture the next generations of MacBook with a foldable display.
Samsung is working on a foldable display for Apple
The Korean OEM is doing its best to meet Apple standards for a foldable display. The slide in the SID Review event suggests that the new foldable technology will bring more durability to the screens, making them impact-proof to increase their resistance. The lack of confidence in foldable displays is maybe one of the reasons that Apple has not yet launched a foldable iPhone.
A Samsung executive noted that it’s “necessary” for Apple to commercialize a foldable product. Which could lead to the success of the whole market. It remains to be seen if Samsung’s next-generation foldable display will be used in a MacBook or iPhone. However, foldable devices are the latest trends in the market, and all reports confirm Apple’s desire to launch a foldable device.
Of course, Samsung has already revealed the inclination among laptop manufacturers to launch a “full display” foldable product. Given that Samsung is one of Apple’s biggest display suppliers, it may be giving clues about a foldable MacBook. We should probably wait until Apple approves the durability of foldable displays made by third-party manufacturers.
