Samsung Display is planning to make more OLED screens for Apple’s new foldable iPhones. This shows that Apple expects strong sales for its first foldable phone.

According to information via ETNews, Samsung Display is considering investing in its A4 factory in Asan, South Chungcheong Province. The company wants to improve its equipment for making screens, which includes thin-film transistors (TFT). The final investment plan will be decided soon, and work could start in the second quarter of this year.

Samsung Display already has a special line for Apple’s foldable iPhones at its A3 factory. This line has been upgraded to make the “iPhone Fold” and can produce 15 million 7-inch foldable screens every year. Mass production of these screens is expected to begin in June. The iPhone Fold will be Apple’s first foldable phone.

Earlier reports reveal that this phone will reportedly have a 7.58-inch screen inside with a 4:3 shape and a 5.35-inch screen outside. Around 10 million units are expected to be made this year. Apple plans to release a new foldable iPhone next year, which means Samsung Display will need to make even more screens to meet demand.

Samsung Display is the only company that makes foldable OLED screens for Apple. With eight years of experience, it has the technology to produce foldable panels in large numbers, and it is expected to remain Apple’s exclusive supplier for years.

This expansion shows that foldable phones are becoming more popular. Samsung Display is playing an important part in helping Apple launch this new technology and meet growing customer demand. Stay tuned for more information.

Apple is expected to launch its first MacBook Pro with an OLED display later this year. This could be a major update for Apple’s laptop lineup. OLED screens offer better colors, deeper blacks, and improved picture quality. Reports suggest that Samsung will play an important role in bringing this new display technology to the MacBook Pro.

The upcoming MacBook Pro is rumored to feature Apple’s new M6 chip, which should deliver better performance and power efficiency. The biggest change is the OLED display, which will be supplied by Samsung Display. For the first OLED MacBook Pro, Samsung is expected to be Apple’s only display partner.

There are also rumors about touchscreen support. Some reports say touchscreen features may be limited to higher-end models with M6 Pro and M6 Max chips. The base M6 model may not include touch support. Apple has not confirmed these details yet.

Samsung Display is said to begin mass production of its 8th-generation OLED panels in May. These advanced panels will be made in 14-inch and 16-inch sizes, matching Apple’s current MacBook Pro models.

Aside from this, Samsung Display is expected to ship around 2 million OLED panels for Apple’s MacBook Pro by the end of the year. This suggests Apple is planning a large launch for its first OLED MacBook Pro models.

If these reports are accurate, Apple’s OLED MacBook Pro, powered by Samsung’s display technology, could become one of the biggest upgrades to the MacBook Pro in many years. Stay tuned for more information.

Samsung Display will reportedly begin production at its new Gen 8 OLED factory, A6, in May. This will be the first factory in the world to make OLED screens using Gen 8 technology.

Gen 8 means the factory uses very large glass sheets to make screens. Bigger glass allows the company to make bigger screens more easily and at lower cost. These large OLED screens are mainly used in laptops and tablets. Today, most phone OLED screens are still made in Gen 6 factories, which use smaller glass.

Samsung Display has already told its suppliers that glass substrates will be added to the A6 production line in May. This is a sign that the factory is almost ready to run at full speed. The screens made at this factory will be used in Apple’s future MacBook laptops. Apple plans to launch MacBooks with OLED screens later this year, in 14-inch and 16-inch sizes.

The Korean tech giant expects to ship about 2 million OLED screens for MacBooks this year. Some parts needed to finish the display are still under development. Apple is also changing some designs to save money. Because the final assembly happens later, Samsung Display wants to make enough screens first.

Samsung Display has a bigger plan for the A6 factory. It wants the factory to be able to make up to 10 million 14.3-inch OLED screens every year. Stay tuned for more information.
