While the Galaxy S24 Ultra would have fairly thick borders, Samsung would work on OLED screens without borders, intended for future iPhones. A logical contradiction due to the fact that the Samsung Electronics and Samsung Display divisions are different.

Some rumors suggest that Apple would ask Samsung to design a borderless Oled screen. What to equip the future iPhone. Samsung Display, the division specializing in Samsung screens, has not confirmed the information, but we are getting closer.
Samsung would work on OLED screens without borders, for Apple
It is The Elec which reports Samsung’s presentation at the K-Display Business Forum at COEX in Seoul’s Gangnam district. It was Samsung Display’s general manager, Jung Yong-wook, who said his teams were working on a screen concept without borders and with a camera under the screen. However, there are some technical challenges to overcome, such as lamination (layered manufacturing), brightness at the edges as well as improving the camera under the screen.

Regarding the latter, it is present on Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold, since the Galaxy Z Fold 3. Since this version, the camera under the screen has not experienced a major revolution. It offers fair quality for the price of the foldable smartphone and can be seen in many situations. Samsung is therefore seeking to improve this technology. There is still a desire to reduce the borders on screens manufactured by Samsung. However, a very recent leak reports that the Samsung Galaxy S24 would have a screen with larger borders. This is because Samsung Electronics makes the Galaxy smartphones, and Samsung Display designs the screens. Two entities, admittedly belonging to the same group, but separate.
A future iPhone without screen borders?
Samsung did not directly indicate that it was intended for a future iPhone, but for The Elec« it is known in the industry that Apple has already asked Samsung Display and LG Display to develop borderless OLED for the iPhone. On the Samsung side, this is reminiscent of a patent published in 2019, providing for a smartphone with a screen without borders or notches.
This same media also said that Apple would have certain requirements. The manufacturer would not want a curved screen like that of the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, but a borderless panel that would fit perfectly on the sides of a smartphone. It seems that Apple finds curved screens detrimental to the experience, due to the refraction of light at the edges.

Which would go in the direction of rumors of an iPhone without ports, buttons and openings. This iPhone says ” unibody “, or monocoque in French, would be a single block of glass with touch buttons and a wireless charging system. However, do not wait for this iPhone for a few years, as long as it comes out one day.
