iPhone screen secrets and unexpected business relationships
iPhone screen secrets and unexpected business relationships
Note the iPhone screens we plow every day, the color is fresh, the touch is fluid at 1-120Hz, and there is an Always-on mode behind these displays, something many people have never known.
Usually Apple is the designer of the whole machine, very high specification, but the parts, he does not use the finished and does not produce them all, and guess who made these OLED screens to Apple...The answer is big competitor Samsung.
It may seem to contradict why they buy parts from competitors. It must first be explained that the person who makes the screen is Samsung Display, which is the subsidiary company that exclusively takes the job of making the screen, not Samsung Mobile, which is the Galaxy mobile division. Even with other suppliers like LG or BOE helping to produce it, Samsung still sweeps most orders.
The more exciting thing is that Apple dared to pay for the best screen technology, so it happened that the iPhone even used new screen materials before Samsung's own mobile phone. For example, when the iPhone 16 Pro and the iPhone 17 used the M14 screen material in advance, while the Galaxy side had to wait for the S25 Ultra and S26 Ultra models to start using the same thing.
This relationship does not end with the regular iPhone model, because the screen of the iPad Pro M5 to the folding-screen mobile iPhone Fold is expected to launch this year, it is likely that Samsung will produce the screen with a near monopoly.
Finally, in the business world, Apple has a standard screen to put in over 200 million machines a year, and Samsung slashes revenue from tens of millions of orders per generation, both called Win-Win-Win-Gun.
