Samsung just reorganized its internal structure to handle the avalanche of Apple contracts coming down the pipeline. The Korean manufacturer upgraded its A-Development Team into a full office with more decision-making power and split off various display divisions to streamline operations.
Apple apparently needs millions of OLED screens for everything from the upcoming foldable iPhone to redesigned MacBook Pro models with touchscreens and notchless displays. Samsung already ships the most panels for current iPhone models and expects that trend to continue through next year's launch cycle.
The company set up production facilities capable of cranking out 10 million displays annually, which should cover supply needs for iPad mini 8 and future MacBook refreshes. This restructuring makes sense since Apple remains one of Samsung's biggest customers despite the two companies competing in consumer electronics.
