  • Apple is reportedly working with LG Display on developing screens for the foldable iPhone.
  • It’s unclear whether LG Display will mass-produce the screen. Samsung has also supplied foldable screens to Apple, according to previous rumors.
  • A report in late 2017 said that Apple partnered with LG on a revolutionary iPhone design to hide it from Samsung.

Rumors that Apple is working on a foldable iPhone should surprise nobody at this point. Apple has been developing technology for such devices for years, leaving plenty of clues along the way in the form of patents. Many others in the industry have already launched foldable handsets or teased their unreleased creations. But there’s been increased chatter about Apple’s foldable iPhones in the past few weeks. Apple is supposedly testing several foldable iPhone designs, including models that would behave like the Galaxy Z Fold 2 and the Galaxy Z Flip. The other day, a report said that Apple’s own Z Fold-like device would feature an in-folding display measuring over 7 inches. But the phone would not be launched until 2023.

A new story out of Asia now claims that LG is assisting Apple on foldable display development. That rumor might sound strange considering that LG has not launched foldable devices of its own. If anything, it’s Samsung’s foldable OLED screen, the likeliest candidate for the foldable iPhone. Samsung Display makes the best OLED screens for phones in the business, and it’s the leading supplier for iPhone displays. But those keeping track of iPhone rumors will probably remember an older story that mentioned the same LG-Apple partnership.
