Samsung Display introduced its M12 material array for its OLED displays last year — it was used in the Galaxy Z Flip4 and Z Fold 4 phones first, and later appeared on the LTPO displays in the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max. Korean publication electricity Reports now indicate that the company is preparing M13 and M14 stock kits.
The M13 could be used in the legendary Google Pixel Fold — well, we jokingly say “legendary,” the phone has been delayed so many times that it’s hard to believe it’s real anymore. But spotted in the wild, it’s very real (and maybe come June).
And it may have a better display panel than the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 and Z Fold5, as it’s expected to stick to the same M12-designated materials as its predecessors (material combination refers to the composition of the OLED panels). Having better foldable panels from Google is unusual since the company rarely opts for the latest technology. Also, a few months ago, there was talk of downgrading the original plans for the show.
according to electricityApple will order M12-based screens for all four iPhone 15 models. Last year, the boards were split between the M12 Pro and the M11 for the vanilla models. This does not mean that the base iPhone and additional model get ProMotion, however, analysts believe that this will not happen until 2025.
Samsung Display is said to be developing a custom formula dubbed M14, which Apple will use exclusively for next year’s iPhone 16 generation.
For this year, Samsung Display will build panels for all four iPhone 15 models, and LG Display will help with panels for the two Pro models. The Bank of England was excluded from the initial application due to some issues.
