Samsung Display and LG Display have reportedly begun mass production of OLED panels for Apple’s 2026 product lineup, with the two companies expected to supply every model launching later this year. Here are the details.
Samsung and LG lock down Apple’s 2026 OLED orders
According to ETNews (via MacMagazine), Samsung Display and LG Display will reportedly supply all OLED panels for Apple’s second-half 2026 launches. BOE was left out after quality issues disrupted its iPhone 17 Pro panel shipments last year, with deliveries only resuming in April.
The new report says that while mass production has already started for the OLED panels for the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, the upcoming foldable iPhone, and the iPad mini, OLED production for the MacBook Pro is expected to begin next month, “when Samsung Display’s 8.6-generation OLED production line begins operating.”
ET News says Samsung Display will be the sole OLED supplier for the iPad mini, foldable iPhone, and MacBook Pro, with estimated orders of 2 million, 10 million, and an unspecified number of panels, respectively.
