Samsung to Supply Displays for Apple’s Foldable Phone and iPhone 13 Pro
Samsung, the South Korean tech giant, is expected to provide the displays for Apple’s upcoming devices, including its first ever foldable phone and the iPhone 13 Pro models. The foldable phone from Apple will have a flexible screen that can bend in half, and Samsung will be the supplier of this screen, according to some reports.
The iPhone 13 Pro models will also have a 120Hz display, which will make the screen more smooth and responsive, and Samsung will also be the source of this display. However, Samsung will not supply the mini-LED screen for the iPad Mini, which is a smaller and cheaper Apple tablet. Also Read: iPad Pro 2021 models with Thunderbolt port launching in April

Apple could sell 15-20 million units of this foldable phone, which will be a new and innovative product from the company.
