Samsung to employ an entirely new display process for Apple's upcoming foldable iPhone

Apple’s Foldable iPhone To Feature A Samsung Display That Is Manufactured Only According To The Company’s Strict Standards; Has Not Been Used In The Galaxy Z Fold 7

Earlier this year, Apple was said to be in the middle of shortlisting candidates who would supply it the necessary components for the foldable iPhone so that the device could proceed with a launch in the second half of 2026.

As you might have noticed, the sleek flagship does not ship with a telephoto camera and lacks a particularly large battery. Fortunately, a company executive has addressed this concern in the latest interview, stating that agentic AI helps to improve the smartphone’s efficiency to the point that silicon-carbon cells are not required. However, there is only so much Samsung can achieve with software, as beyond that, the hardware upgrades become necessary. […]
