    Bottom screen chin: Why Samsung cannot just copy Apple

    Yet they manufacture Apple's OLED screens

    Apple’s display are manufactured by Samsung, but why can’t Samsung just fold the bottom screen to remove the chin like Apple did with the iPhone X. It should be noted that even if Samsung makes the display yes, but they don’t design its rival’s displays.

    Apple design their displays in house, their team employ their special pixel aliasing and renowned color tuning, then simply give Samsung the instructions to make it, and in the case of their LCD’s, LG and Japan Display.

    Almost all the components inside an iPhone are designed by Apple in California, including the screen. A lot of money is spent by these companies developing their OLED screens, and the technology behind it is Apple’s, and it would come as no surprise that Apple already patented the curving display.

    As for storage, memory etc they make sure to order the best quality available from the likes of Toshiba.

    It is believed that Apple spent years trying to design an OLED screen that have so far graced the iPhone X and iPhone 11 series. They design them just right, speculation is that this “folding process” in its own was a huge reason why iPhones were so late to the game with OLED on top of trying to color tune the screen to eliminate the issues of OLED technologies.

    The reason other companies like Samsung and Huawei haven’t followed suit is simply because this is very expensive technology both to manufacture and repair, and seeing as most android phones tend to be inexpensive, this technology is far off their respective manufacturers’ budget. Huawei has curved the bottom and top parts of the screens of its latest P40 Pro phone.

    Samsung and Google technically could, but their reasoning hasn’t been disclosed. Samsung do not own this screen, Apple do, they cannot just put this screen in their phones as that’s essentially stealing.
