Samsung Display shuffles its foldable unit as it prepares to supply foldable Apple devices،
Changes to Sammy's display unit are made to the team that manages the supplies that Samsung ships to Apple. The goal is to improve the capabilities of Sammy's display unit, especially when it comes to shipping Apple's eventual foldable panels. The divisional change is based on the assumption that foldable devices are becoming more commonplace, a goal that Samsung's Dr. TM Roh, president and director of Sammy's Mobile Experience Business, said was going to come to fruition last year.
The company will reduce the importance of the unit's strategic marketing office as the business attempts to improve operational efficiencies and increase collaboration between sales, marketing and product planning. And it will all revolve around creating foldable panels for Apple.

As we said earlier in this article, to go mainstream, the foldable smartphone market will need a device from Cupertino. Although Apple may not be the most innovative company in the smartphone industry, it is still the most influential. When Apple ditched the iPhone's 3.5mm headphone jack and removed the charging brick from the iPhone's case, these moves were quickly copied by other manufacturers.
A previously filed patent application by Apple matches a current rumor about how the foldable MacBook
Pro might handle text input. When screen content requires text entry, the lower half of the screen displays a virtual QWERTY keyboard. This way, Apple wouldn't have to worry about designing a physical keyboard for its foldable computer.
