CTOnews.com, October 22 (Xinhua)-- Kim Ki-hyun, director of the Stone Partners Division of the Market Research Institute, made some predictions about Apple's OLED and folding products at the Technology Summit held by Digitimes.

"Apple will use OLED panels on iPad Pro models for the first time next year," he said. "OLED will be gradually applied in the order of iPad mini and iPad Air, and is expected to expand (to more product lines)."

It is said that both 11-inch and 13-inch iPad Pro models will be equipped with OLED panels, and suppliers include LG display and Samsung display, of which LG display will supply OLED for 11-inch and 13-inch models, while Samsung will provide OLED,LGD orders for 6 million units for 11-inch models and 4 million units for Samsung display.

LG Display has received requests to supply OLED for iPad Air and mini, but because of a lack of capacity (CAPA), I think it is at a crossroads where we have to choose between Air and mini models.

He also mentioned that Apple has begun an in-depth evaluation of four types of collapsible products, including the Flip and Fold, which are expected to be able to launch specific collapsible products expected in the current market around 2027.

"the OLED transition begins about 10 years after the release of the first-generation iPhone, and we carefully predict a change in appearance in 2027, which is 10 years from now." considering the development, we don't expect to see a new product release until 2026 or 2027. "

"We think Apple has begun to seriously consider launching four types of foldable products, including flip and foldable products," he said. "basically, it takes more than three years to develop a product, so if development starts next year, we don't expect to see the specific foldable products that the market is looking forward to around 2027."

It has been revealed that Apple's envisioned folding screen products are for large-screen devices such as tablets and laptops, not smartphones. This is a "new form factor" that we have never seen before.
