Speculations that Samsung Display was trying to sign Apple as its next big foldable display client surfaced online, but nothing was set in stone because Apple was unsure about building foldable products. However, Apple's stance may have shifted, as a recent report suggests that the two businesses have officially signed a contract.
The specifics of this supposed contract remain undisclosed, DigiTimes Asia reported. The tipster, citing supply chain sources, claims Apple has reached an arrangement with Samsung Display "for the development of foldable devices."
In other words, Samsung Display appears to be Apple's foldable display provider, but it is unclear what foldable gadget the two companies may be working on. Other reports suggest that Apple's first foldable product might be a big tablet or a foldable iPhone.
