While memory costs are expected to comfortably lead the iPhone 18 Pro’s bill of materials, the same may not be true for the iPhone Duo. Here are the details.
Apple and Samsung Display sign three-year exclusive deal
In a new post shared on Weibo today, leaker Instant Digital said that Apple and Samsung Display signed an exclusive three-year supply agreement for foldable panels.
According to the leaker, Samsung Display will be Apple’s exclusive supplier of folding panels for the iPhone Duo “and subsequent models,” with each panel costing approximately $250.
The leaker also noted that, unsurprisingly, this is “one of the most expensive core components” of the device.
While there haven’t been credible reports on the iPhone Duo’s expected bill of materials, breaking down component costs across displays, cameras, processor, memory, and other components, Apple has shared interesting information about the materials used to build the device, including how much recycled content it contains.
From the iPhone Duo’s press release:
As for the device’s actual bill of materials, teardowns and other analyses may give us a better idea once it hits shelves next month.
