Apple has reportedly selected Samsung to mass-produce a new display technology called High Mobility Oxide, or HMO, according to a recent rumor. These panels are said to offer reduced power consumption and lower manufacturing costs due to simpler production requirements. The Korean giant, having previously developed the technology, is believed to be the only manufacturer capable of fulfilling Apple's volume demands.
Mass production for the HMO displays is anticipated to begin in 2026. This timeline suggests the technology could debut in future Apple products, potentially including the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and a rumored iPhone Fold. While the technology provides advantages, its extremely short process window may present Samsung with yield and stabilization challenges during manufacturing.
