Samsung OLED May Power Apple’s Next iMac, Signaling A Big Leap in Display Technology

Apple has always been a trendsetter in display technologies, and lately, industry sources claim that future iMacs may use Samsung's OLED panels. If true, then the next iteration of the iMac must be one seriously jumbo leap in screen and viewing experience.

The Oled Technology Case For iMac

Latest editions of imac models right now feature LCD stays. The principal advantage of OLED technology is that each pixel emits its own light, resulting in rather deep blacks and superior contrast. Should the next iMac have OLED screens, that would mean very saturated colors with good brightness control and lower energy consumption. The difference would mean a lot for graphic designers, video editors, and other content creators for whom color accuracy and detail are extremely vital at a professional level.

A New Speculation Over Apple's Strategic Ties With Samsung

Yet Apple has always been open to supply its devices with components, from display technology to processors, from Samsung. A lot of this interplay comes in between their opposition in the mobile market. Therein, Apple never shies away from sharing the supply chain for crucial components like display technology from the company. Presently, Apple is also reliant for OLED display for the iPhones. Providing OLED panels for larger devices, such as the iMac, means a completely revamped technical feasible delivery from Samsung.

This would mark a very high step for Apple in making a more premium experience on the desktop series. Certainly, this would increase the price of iMac; however, a single cent matters for revenue; besides, the improvement in visual experience has a great buzz from customers.

Impact Potential and What It Foretells For The Future

This will have a hard battle for all-in-one desktops if the new iMac comes with a OLED under the hood. Other manufacturers would otherwise have to hit the technology to find OLEDs, if not all together comment on how their image is presented to the market. After all, the most stunning visual experience would be running the interface and graphic elements of the macOS on an OLED screen.

By and large, this step represents Apple's forward march with regard to the iMac series thanks to the technology from Samsung OLEDs. All in all, however, not much was said officially so far, but in the tech cyberspace, quite a bit of speculation has already rolled.
