According to a leaked source on Weibo called "Instant Digital", Samsung Display is expected to start mass-producing OLED screens for folded iPhones in May 2026.
Meanwhile, the "Fixed Focus Digital" account said that the device's screen may be significantly flatter than many foldable smartphones currently on the market, showing that Apple has solved most of the screen folding problem.
Previous reports also described the panel manufactured by Samsung as "almost foldless", even "foldless". However, according to expert Mark Gurman, the new screen technology that Apple is using may significantly reduce folds but cannot completely remove them and the results are still "not really perfect".
According to rumors, Apple's first folded iPhone will have a 7.8-inch in-screen, a 5.5-inch external secondary screen, integrated Touch ID, two rear cameras, and A20 chip.
The device is expected to be launched in the fall along with iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. As this time approaches, production is likely to be boosted.
