Displays for the iPhone Fold and touchscreen MacBook Pro will come from Samsung, while LG will make screens for the Apple Watch Series 12, says a repeat rumor.
Apple’s first foldable iPhone is slated to debut in 2026. While it will mark Apple’s entry into new smartphone territory, its displays will seemingly be produced by a tried-and-true Apple supply chain partner.

As with the iPhone Fold, rumors of Samsung-made OLED panels for the MacBook Pro go back to at least September 2025. Claims of Samsung making an OLED iPad mini display for 2026 go back even further, to May 2024.
In that regard, Tuesday’s display-related report is arguably nothing more than a “me too” rumor, with no significant new information.
Even when discussing LG Display’s role in the Apple supply chain, the report only backs up earlier rumors. On June 2, 2026, it was said that LG Display would produce screens…
