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.
Samsung Display's Strategic Moves: Preparing for Apple's Potential Entry into Foldable Display Market
According to industry rumors from December, Samsung Display was already revamping its manufacturing lines to fulfill Apple's expectations if the Cupertino powerhouse opted to join the foldable display bandwagon.
Samsung Display has been researching and perfecting foldable screens for many years, and it is critical for the firm that its R&D efforts bear fruit, Sammobile reported. Although Samsung's mobile business ships an increasing number of foldable devices each year, the display division seeks more clients to boost foldable display sales. Apple is the big player.
Apple's Foldable Future: Rumored Launches and Samsung's Key Role in Shaping the Market
According to rumors, Apple's first foldable iPhone could be mass-produced in 2026 and released later that year. The corporation is also rumored to be working on a 20.3-inch foldable iPad or MacBook, which would go into mass production in 2025 and enter the market in 2026/2027.
Whatever Apple plans, Samsung Display will play an important role in providing the right reports. Apple will breathe new life into the foldable category, and Samsung may finally face significant competition.
