- Apple will reportedly use Samsung’s M16 OLED panel, offering best-in-class brightness, battery efficiency, and durability, per Apple’s standards.

Leaks also suggest this price tag applies only to the folding panel on the inside of the phone; the outer display is not included and will be charged separately.
This makes the inner display the most expensive component of the entire iPhone Duo foldable.
Samsung made the display with advanced technology and multiple layers to improve durability, while also allowing the front selfie camera to be hidden inside.
Samsung Display is also among the leading suppliers of smartphone and TV panels, and its display division addressed Apple’s concerns about reliability. Samsung’s latest M16 OLED materials are being used for the iPhone Duo.
Samsung M16 OLED wins the contract because of its higher brightness and power efficiency, as well as Apple’s durability standards.
