Samsung to start making foldable OLED panels for US client, says report
If rumors hold true, Apple could unveil a foldable iPhone, aka iPhone Fold, next year. The foldable is expected to use a flexible OLED panel made by Samsung Display.
Lee Cheong, president of Samsung Display, has now reportedly confirmed mass production of OLED panels for foldable phones, set to be supplied to a North American client. Although Cheong didn’t disclose the company’s name, it is widely believed to be Apple.
Apple’s rumored iPhone Fold is said to offer a 5.5-inch cover display and a 7.8-inch folding screen on the inside. The foldable is rumored to feature a side-mounted Touch ID sensor instead of Face ID.
The foldable iPhone is rumored to debut in September 2026 alongside the iPhone 18 lineup, though the timeline may still shift. Pricing is expected to exceed $2,000.
