Samsung Offers to Supply Foldable Displays to Apple and Google
In the wake of the launch of the Galaxy Fold, Samsung has begun shopping
around its foldable display technology to other companies. ETNews (Translate)
reports that they have specifically provided samples to Apple and Google.
Samsung has historically been both supplier and competitor to Apple and other
smartphone manufacturers and provides the OLED screens for Apple's top of the
line iPhones. According to the report, Samsung doesn't intend to keep
foldable technology to itself and is instead working to dominate as a
supplier for the technology. Samsung is said to be able to produced about 2.4
million units a year at this time but is considering moving up to 10 million
units a year depending on demand.
Apple has been known to be working on foldable display technology for years
with patents on the implementation of similar technology. While there are
ongoing rumors that Apple has been testing such technologies in the lab,
Apple has not been speculated to implement the technology until 2020 at the
earliest.

展示了螢幕技術後果然就是要銷貨給其它大廠，
但在這個價格追不上大眾可接受需求的情況下，
相信跟 5G 一樣，近幾年流行不起來，
只有新聞跟相關產業可能會熱一點。
另外提到蘋果幾年來有在研發類似功能，
但沒有消息指出會推出相關產品。
蘋果推出 8 萬元的折疊手機/平板的話，板友會買嗎？
