Apple is reportedly going to source the foldable OLED panels for its rumoured foldable iPhone exclusively from Samsung Display, at least for the next three years. Korea-based news outlet The Elec reported that Samsung Display was accepted as the sole supplier due to the lack of viable alternatives.

New supply chain reports are shedding more light on Apple's rumoured all-glass iPhone 19 Pro, expected for the iPhone's 20th anniversary in 2027. Following earlier reports of a curved, notch-less design, ETNews details a "four-sided bending display" from Samsung Display and LG Display, creating a bezel-less look reminiscent of a past Xiaomi concept. This design could also feature an under-display camera. The report also suggests a significant battery upgrade with a solid-state battery and an all-silicon cathode. While exciting, these details remain unconfirmed.

You can always count on Samsung Display to share some out-of-the-box concepts. And the newest out of CES 2025 is a stretchable screen that bulges from the center to create the 3D effect. Imagine Sadako from the Japanese horror movie The Ring coming out of a screen like this.
While the concept is far from commercialization, you can imagine it being useful for things like 3D maps in cars, fun watch faces, or more tactile user interfaces on mobile devices or even car displays. Of course, its durability is going to be a point of concern. This stretchable micro LED is still in its early development, so any potential real-life applications are still years away.

Samsung might be looking to shake up its foldable business. The company is supposedly thinking about launching a tri-fold smartphone in 2025. Industry insiders from Korea said the company is ready for the technology, and its supply chain can handle the new product. However, the final call for its production will come from Samsung's MX (Mobile eXperience) Division, the unit responsible for its foldable phones. The company might be exploring this new design to combat slower sales.
According to the report, there's been a 10% decrease in the order of OLED panels as demands for the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 and Flip6 didn't meet expectations. Samsung Displays shipments for foldable OLED panels will total roughly 12 million this year, a stark 40% decrease from last year's 20 million shipments. The Fold6 and Flip6 are responsible for around eight million units, down from the 10 million forecasted sales.
