Apple is set to embark on the production of its inaugural foldable iPhone in the latter half of 2025, targeting a launch date in autumn 2026. Novatek, a prominent Taiwanese display driver IC designer, is vigorously pursuing a pivotal supplier role for this innovative product, leveraging its OLED TDDI technology. Amidst fierce competition from the Korean supply chain, Novatek stands poised to significantly bolster its global DDI market position should it successfully penetrate this segment with an anticipated annual shipment volume ranging from 7 to 8 million units.
