However, these displays will not be used in Galaxy devices, at least for now. Instead, they will reportedly debut in Apple\u2019s upcoming iPhones.\n<\/p>\n<p>According to a <a href=\"https:\/\/m.weibo.cn\/detail\/5257523164874590\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">report<\/a> from China, Samsung Display will supply OLED panels for Apple\u2019s iPhone 18 series. While the iPhone 17 lineup used OLED panels from Chinese manufacturer BOE, along with South Korean suppliers LG Display and Samsung Display, Apple\u2019s supply chain could shift in 2026. BOE is reportedly being excluded because it can&#8217;t make displays that can match iPhone 18 series&#8217; brightness requirements.\n<\/p>\n<p>Although the report does not disclose exact brightness figures, it claims that the iPhone 18&#8217;s displays will be noticeably brighter than those used in the iPhone 17 series. Since all iPhone 17 models offer up to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sammobile.com\/news\/all-iphone-17-models-samsung-oled-screens-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">3,000 nits of peak brightness<\/a>, the iPhone 18 lineup could reach 3,500 nits or more.\n<\/p>\n<p>            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Apple-iPhone-17-Design-Lavendar.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" alt=\"apple iphone 17 design lavendar\" class=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p>BOE is said to be struggling with the production of OLED panels for the iPhone 17 series, and a significant portion of orders have reportedly been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sammobile.com\/news\/samsung-supply-even-more-oled-panels-iphone-17\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">shifted to Samsung Display<\/a>. BOE is the same firm that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sammobile.com\/news\/samsung-wins-oled-patent-infringement-battle-against-boe-in-usa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">stole Samsung Display&#8217;s OLED<\/a> technologies.\n<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Samsung\u2019s upcoming flagship smartphones, the Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+, and Galaxy S26 Ultra, are expected to retain the same 2,600 nits peak brightness levels found on the Galaxy S25 series. This suggests that Samsung is not yet using its brightest OLED technology in the Galaxy S26 lineup.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<a class=\"google-preferred-news-source-cta-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sammobile.com\/news\/add-sammobile-as-a-preferred-source-on-google-to-always-get-the-latest-news\/\" style=\"display: inline-block;\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" id=\"google-preferred-badge\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark.png\" alt=\"Google Preferred News Source\" style=\"max-width: 50%; height: auto;\"\/><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Samsung Display is the world\u2019s largest and most popular OLED panel maker, and it is reportedly preparing to&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":423174,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[517,165,56697,74],"class_list":{"0":"post-423173","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mobile","8":"tag-apple","9":"tag-mobile","10":"tag-samsung-display","11":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/423173","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=423173"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/423173\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/423174"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=423173"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=423173"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=423173"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
