Leaker says Apple is waiting on Samsung's wraparound OLED for a bezel-free iPhone

First reported by MacRumors at · Updated · 2 sources

Apple is reportedly waiting for Samsung to perfect an OLED technology that curves almost vertically around a phone so the sides become part of the screen. The claim comes from Weibo leaker Instant Digital, as cited by MacRumors. Samsung reportedly calls the technology a "full-surround, full-screen display."

  • The claim comes from a single Chinese leaker, not from Apple or Samsung.
  • Wccftech says Apple's ideal iPhone is a seamless glass slab with no mechanical parts.
