Apple's new Spatial iPhone to be powered by Samsung's holographic display

Samsung is reportedly developing a next-gen holographic display for Apple's rumored Spatial iPhone, and it's already taking shape in South Korea.

The MH1 panel, according to recent leaks, could use advanced eye-tracking and diffractive beam-steering technologies to enable immersive 3D visuals. If the rumors are true, Apple is once again leaning on Samsung's display expertise to bring a futuristic product to market.

The MH1 is part of Samsung's broader push into next-level display tech. Just last year, the company secured a three-year exclusive deal to supply foldable OLED panels for Apple's upcoming foldable iPhone.

Now, with the rumored Spatial iPhone, Samsung is reportedly building on its M16 panel lineage, which is pegged to debut in the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max. The MH1 is expected to deliver a major leap in spatial computing capabilities, potentially syncing with Apple's iOS 26 spatial features.

This collaboration highlights the deepening relationship between Apple and Samsung in the high-end display space. While Apple is often seen as the innovator, Samsung's R&D in materials and optics is pushing the boundaries of what's possible.

If the rumors about the MH1 are true, its success could pave the way for a new era of mixed reality and 3D imaging in consumer devices, especially as Apple continues to test and expand its spatial computing capabilities with new devices such as the Vision Pro.

With Apple reportedly planning a book-style foldable iPhone and now a Spatial iPhone with holographic capabilities, the coming years could redefine what we think when someone says "smartphone".
