Yes, it's true — Apple does use some Samsung technology in its iPhone products, especially in hardware components. Here's a quick breakdown:


🔧 Display Technology

  • Samsung Display is a leading manufacturer of OLED panels.

  • Apple sources OLED screens for many of its iPhone models (starting from iPhone X) from Samsung.

  • Despite being a competitor, Samsung often provides the best quality and volume capacity Apple needs.


💾 Memory & Storage

  • Samsung also manufactures NAND flash storage and DRAM, which are sometimes used in iPhones.

  • Apple also sources from other suppliers (like SK Hynix or Micron), but Samsung remains a major player in the memory chip industry.


📱 Why This Happens:

Even though Apple and Samsung are fierce rivals in the smartphone market, they collaborate in component manufacturing because:

  • Samsung makes some of the most advanced hardware in the world.

  • Apple designs its devices to tight standards and needs the highest-quality parts, which Samsung can supply.


🔍 Worth Noting:

  • Apple designs most of its key components (like the A-series chips), but outsources manufacturing to companies like TSMC (for processors) and Samsung (for displays/memory).
