A truckload of futile attempts have been made by Samsung to maintain its dominance over Apple in the smartphone market. Unfortunately, with the Korean giant\u2019s market share dwindling and the DRAM shortage<\/a>\u00a0threatening to erode its lead as its rival mulls a price freeze<\/a>\u00a0on the iPhone 18<\/a>\u00a0lineup, it\u2019s becoming even more difficult for competitors to obtain a foothold.<\/p>\n

In the wake of multiple factors, a new report highlights a shift in Samsung\u2019s strategies where it targets a lucrative business model as opposed to competing with Apple in the smartphone market and failing continuously. That specific model is maintaining its role as an exclusive supplier of parts found in current and upcoming Apple products.<\/p>\n

Chinese display suppliers fail to secure meaningful display orders, with Samsung going full throttle on the iPhone Fold, redesigned MacBook Pro, and more<\/p>\n

Being the sole supplier of parts found in Apple products is an excellent way to boost earnings, and Samsung has proven over the years that it remains unrivaled in both quality and quantity. Statistics from Omdia published by DigiTimes reveal that the Korean technology behemoth\u2019s iPhone display market share is 56.8 percent, with volume increasing to 142 million units in 2025, representing a 15 percent increase.<\/p>\n

The iPhone Fold<\/a>\u00a0is an untapped area where Samsung has obtained an advantage by becoming the sole manufacturer of the device\u2019s displays for three years. Developing a crease-free panel is both expensive and complicated, with Apple only expected to stock 11 million units<\/a>\u00a0of its first foldable flagship.<\/p>\n

With the initial volume being limited and the complexities involved with developing this part, Samsung can effortlessly charge the customer an insane premium on these panels, with Apple having little choice but to oblige. The redesigned M6 MacBook Pro<\/a>\u00a0series will also benefit from Samsung\u2019s larger OLED screens, with the latter aiming for mass production in 2026<\/a>. These displays will be a major reason why Apple is expected to introduce a price hike to these machines.<\/p>\n

Last, but certainly not least, we have the iPhone 18 family. Given that Apple is reported to unveil just the \u2018Pro\u2019 models this year, orders are to be divided between Samsung and LG, with the former likely handling the lion\u2019s share of the orders. Chinese manufacturer BOE\u2019s struggles continue as it fails to maintain consistent quality for these parts, leaving a major gap for Samsung to capitalize on.<\/p>\n

Looking at the details above, it\u2019s evident that being Apple\u2019s supplier is a far more rewarding business model than competing with the company, and we are confident that Samsung will aggressively pursue multiple strategies to make the firm its top priority when fulfilling Apple\u2019s orders.<\/p>\n
