Apple is reportedly entering a three-year arrangement with Samsung to supply foldable display panels for the iPhone Duo and subsequent models, according to a Chinese leaker (Instant Digital) cited by both outlets.
The reports say Samsung is the exclusive supplier for the required screens. MacRumors adds that the iPhone Duo would use Samsung’s M16 OLED material set, which the source claims improves brightness, color performance, lifespan, and power efficiency versus prior OLED generations. MacRumors further reports a reported price of about $250 per panel, described as one of the device’s priciest components.
AppleInsider frames some details as sketchy, noting that while it was already known Samsung makes the iPhone Duo displays and that Samsung has an exclusive arrangement, the specifics—three-year duration, coverage of the current device plus future models, and the $250-per-panel figure—are presented as rumor and depend on the leaker’s claims.
