Apple’s foldable iPhone, which has been working on for years, is on the agenda with a remarkable choice in terms of screen technology. According to resources close to the industry, Apple plans to use a special OLED panel that Samsung Display has not used on any device on this device. The panel stands out with its thinner structure and the floor trail almost negligible. Developed in line with Apple’s demands, this panel said that it offers serious differences compared to previous foldable screens.
This panel of Samsung Display is burying the touch layer in the OLED layer and has decreased by 19 percent in total thickness. Thanks to this technical approach, the panel becomes lighter and offers a more elegant form. This delicacy obtained is a great advantage especially for design -oriented brands such as Apple. However, it is stated that the panel is not compromised by basic performance criteria such as durability and shine.
He went to changes to meet Samsung Apple’s expectations
Samsung has taken the maximum and typical brightness values of the panel to meet Apple’s expectations. Thus, the user will almost not feel that he uses a foldable display. The image experience of the panel is very close to the OLED screens used in a flat form. All these developments reveal the point where screen technologies come.
This panel of Samsung has not yet been used even in models that will be released under its own brand. However, there are rumors that a panel with similar qualities will take place in the Galaxy Z Fold 7 model. This model is expected to be introduced in July and the finest foldable phone produced so far. Galaxy Z Fold 7 is claimed to have a thickness of 3.9 mm when it is opened and 8.9 mm when it is closed.
On the Apple front, it is seen that this panel will be considered not only as a technical hardware, but also as a marketing tool. It is reported that the company has made brand registration applications for this new panel technology. Previously defining screens with terms such as “Retina”, “Liquid Retina” or “Promotion”, Apple is likely to adopt a similar naming for a foldable screen. This shows that the screen will be presented as a prominent feature when the device is introduced.
A clear calendar for Apple’s foldable iPhone model has not yet appeared. But the sources say that the company can use this device by 2026. Delayed entry, Apple’a opponents of the opportunity to learn lessons from the comments are made. The company is known to tend to offer a more refined solution in hardware and software integration.
However, the fact that Apple is dependent on Samsung under the screen supply is a remarkable detail in terms of industry dynamics. In the market they compete, the fact that Apple’s most innovative equipment will be presented directly with the components of a competing manufacturer, such as Samsung, stands out as a contradictory example of cooperation in the world of technology. However, this cooperation enables the emergence of high quality products for the consumer.
This level, where screen technology comes, affects not only foldable phones, but also the future of tablets and hybrid devices. How Apple will integrate this panel and how to offer an experience on the software side is also a matter of curiosity. It seems possible to reinterpret features such as Continuity and Stage Manager, which the company previously introduced with the foldable form factor.
