Apple to Pay $250 Per iPhone Duo Foldable Display in Samsung Deal

Considering Samsung mocked Apple about the Duo they should give the screens to Apple for free😂

One, Apple doesn’t care, as they rise above insults. And two, they’re literally using better display tech than even Samsung use in their own folds. This is because Apple have higher quality standards. And you may say, well, (why would Samsung give more to Apple than themselves?) it’s simple - If you work as a cleaner, you’re more likely to clean better to impress clients than you’re in your own home. Impressing others is more important than impressing yourself at home.

Basically, Samsung knows that if they don’t impress their client, Apple will just invest in making their own displays or find another supplier until they do. Just like they did with the M series.

Need more evidence that Samsung knows Apple customers expect higher quality? Just think of the cheaper materials use to make their Fold 8 ie -the plastic camera housing that pop off - with a bigger crease and lesser water resistance, This is enough evidence that just because Samsung make the displays, it don’t actually mean they give left overs to others. Apple literally has Samsung in a perpetual headlock. And it’s wonderful.

I have owned both Apple and Samsung phones. I wouldn't say one is higher quality than the other when it comes to non-foldables. I would say Samsung has Apple in a headlock because Apple pays them $250 per screen. How much of that price is due to Samsung's manufacturing costs, how much is based on their speculation about where the foldable market will go...and how much of it is simply putting Apple in a headlock is unknown.

Apple started a display coordination with Samsung back in the late 90s. Apple gave Samsung $150 million to R&D cheaper LCD panels so Apple could move away from CRTs on their desktops. Only saying this to show they’ve been working together on displays for a long time.

No chinese vendors available to supply foldable display? OPPO makes one for example

Oppo doesn't make screens, they make foldable phones yes, but they source the screens just like Apple does.
BTW Samsung the phone company also doesn't make screens, they source them from Samsung display.

I wonder how much it will cost to replace a screen like that at service centers—around $900?

Insert "why can't Apple pass on the savings to customers" post here.

Still can't believe the $3k sticker price here in Canada. We're all up here prentending that we aren't already in a recession, I'm so curious to see how these sell.

You wrote a lot of words talking like you know a lot about both companies.
