iPhone will mark its 20th anniversary in 2027, and Apple aims to launch true all-screen products. Long ago, the company requested its display partners, Samsung and LG, to develop the required solutions, mainly the display.

A new industry report sheds light on the fact that Samsung isn’t paying much attention to the Apple all-screen iPhone expected to arrive in 2027. LG Display seems way more active than Samsung when it comes to investment.

Strategic silence

LG Display is reportedly pouring 400 billion won (~ $270 million) into the panel production of Apple’s 2027 iPhone. The South Korean company is preparing to initiate preparations for mass-producing the OLED screen.

While LG is moving swiftly, Samsung’s silence speaks volumes. The company may have been prepping for investment or uncertain about the adoption of such screen technology by Apple in its 20th anniversary iPhone in 2027.

Focus elsewhere

Samsung is focusing on foldable iPhone display supplies. A recent report revealed that around 11 million panels could be supplied by Samsung Display, which the company’s spokesperson denied in a statement conveyed to us.

It’s said that Samsung Display is the sole supplier of foldable iPhone screens. The first product is coming next year, and it will sell like hotcakes. Samsung’s Z Fold 7 has hit a level of maturity, and Apple’s entry is a validation.

True all-screen iPhone

Apple wants Samsung and LG to develop a bezel-less screen. Not just bezels, but the OLED may not have any cutout for FaceID and selfie camera. Apple could bring an under-display selfie camera to the iPhone Pro models in 2027.

iPhone in 2027 could adopt four-sided bending technology. It may not just cover the front but all four edges of the border with the display. The solution doesn’t match the edge/curved display technology, which used earlier.

Producing a four-sided bending display requires extensive modification of existing lines. This is why the scale of LG’s investment is inevitably large. There are rumors that LG Display has been allocated about 10 lines by Apple.

The screen Apple wants requires a process to fold the panel circuit in the bezel area, and the Thin-Film Encapsulation (TFE), which blocks the ingress of moisture and oxygen into the OLED panel, must also be significantly thinner.

A leaked Samsung Securities roadmap teases massive AI upgrades in 2027. The company has plenty of hardware upgrades and innovations in its pipeline. 2027 is going to be a year that will welcome grand inventions for Samsung fans.

Agent AI integration

The analysis suggests 2027 will be the year of splendid AI upgrades from Samsung. Mobile devices are slated to introduce enhanced real-time AI responsiveness.

Samsung is prepping to launch Ambient AI with the Galaxy S26 series. The following year, bringing the S27 series, will likely bring even more advancements.

Solid-state battery

Samsung also plans to commercialize a solid-state battery for mobile devices. The company would first use the new battery tech in wearable devices. After successful utilization and assessment, it would expand to phones.

Smart glasses

Smart Glasses would also see upgrades in 2027. Samsung and Google are also working on smart glasses with a display. Meanwhile, the roadmap mentions glasses from Meta and the second-generation Apple Vision Pro.

New mobile DRAM

Samsung may release the next-gen DRAM, LPDDR6, in the second half of next year. This technology is expected to be used in the Galaxy S27 series smartphones.

Beyond that, Samsung has expanded plans for mobile DRAM in 2027. However, the technologies coming in 2027 wouldn’t be seen in consumer devices soon. New solutions include:

• LPW – Low-Power Wide I/O DRAM or Mobile HBM
• VCS – Visual Computing System
• FC-SIP – Flip Chip System-in-Package

Apart from this, Samsung revealed that Tesla Optimus could finally enter factories, marking the first commercialization in the second half of next year. Snapdragon X Gen 2 chip could also see upgrades in its Oryon chips.

Galaxy S26 is coming in the first half of next year and focuses on a personal-data AI search service. Mobile chiplet could arrive in 2028 or 2029 along with LBS Display, while the high-res uLED lands sometime in 2026.

Smart glasses are gaining popularity, and both Meta and Samsung are preparing to launch their own display-equipped AI glasses in 2027. This will mark an important year, as several big brands will compete to bring the best AR and AI experience to users.

Meta, the company behind Facebook and Instagram, is currently the leader in AI smart glasses. It has been working on a new pair called “Phoenix.” These glasses will have a small display and will connect with a wire to a separate puck that holds the battery and main computer parts.

Samsung is also working on its own smart glasses. Unlike Meta’s wired design, Samsung’s glasses are expected to be completely wireless. They will connect to a phone using Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. Samsung’s glasses will also include a small display on one lens, making them useful for simple AR tasks.

Talking about the launch, Meta first planned to release Phoenix in 2026, but decided to delay it to 2027 for design and quality improvements. On the other hand, Samsung plans to launch basic AI glasses without a display next year, but then follow up with display-equipped glasses in 2027.

Both Samsung and Meta are working on smart glasses, but with different approaches. Meta’s glasses will run on its own Meta Horizon OS, while Samsung’s will use Android XR, Google’s new operating system for XR devices. With these developments, 2027 is expected to be a significant year for AR, XR, and AI technologies.
