Samsung Display is preparing to take its 12-inch RGB OLEDoS technology into mass production, with 2028 emerging as the target year.

The company is expected to review the investment this month. The planned production capacity is about 3,000 wafers per month. It may build the new production line at its A2 facility, which already has a 12-inch WOLEDoS line.

About 150 billion won of the investment could be spent on deposition equipment. Sunik System has reportedly been chosen to supply this equipment after competing with Japan’s Canon Tokki.

RGB OLEDoS is difficult to manufacture because red, green and blue OLED materials must be placed directly on very small pixels. The equipment must align the mask and silicon wafer with very high accuracy.

Samsung Display is expected to order the equipment in the fourth quarter. Equipment installation could begin in 2027, with mass production targeted for 2028.

However, scaling the technology to 12-inch wafers presents manufacturing challenges, including precise mask alignment, thermal control, and uniform OLED deposition. Samsung Display has been developing RGB OLEDoS since acquiring US microdisplay company Imagine in 2023.

Apple is facing criticism in South Korea for not sharing iPhone users’ location with police and rescue teams when someone else reports an emergency. Around 10 million people in South Korea use iPhones. If an iPhone user goes missing, has an accident, or cannot call for help, their family or friends can contact the police.

However, Apple reportedly does not provide the user’s location when the request comes from another person. Apple says it follows its global privacy policy.

Samsung and Xiaomi phones reportedly provide location information in similar emergency situations.

South Korean police and firefighters receive hundreds of thousands of such requests every year. The National Police Agency received more than 265,000 requests in 2023, over 268,000 in 2024, and more than 273,000 in 2025.

For iPhone users, authorities can get some location information through mobile phone companies. But this information is usually based on nearby mobile towers, which can cover large areas. This makes it difficult for rescue teams to find a missing person, mainly in cities with tall buildings.

Authorities have asked Apple to provide more device information to help them identify iPhone users and plan searches more effectively.

Apple has increased the emergency location sharing time from five minutes to 30 minutes. However, officials say this does not solve the problem of emergency requests made by family members or friends.

South Korean lawmakers are now calling for stronger action from the government to work with Apple and improve the emergency rescue system.

Samsung is quietly making Galaxy AI usage more transparent inside Samsung Notes. The latest Samsung Notes app update adds an “AI watermark” that tells users when text has been processed or generated with Samsung’s artificial intelligence tools.

The change arrives with Samsung Notes version 4.4.48.15, although it is far less noticeable than the term “watermark” might suggest.

A small label with a clear purpose

Samsung Notes already offers several Galaxy AI-powered features, including spelling and grammar corrections, automatic formatting, summarization, and translation.

Following the update, the result preview now includes the message “This text was generated using AI” underneath AI-processed content, as per SamMobile.

The label appears before users accept the suggested result, making it clear that Galaxy AI was involved in producing or modifying the text.

This approach is different from Samsung’s AI image labeling. The company already adds visible AI markings to images created through tools such as Creative Studio and its wallpaper generation features.

In Notes, Samsung has instead chosen a lightweight disclosure that does not interfere with the actual text.

Samsung is expanding AI transparency

The move fits with Samsung’s broader push to make Galaxy AI features more identifiable across its devices. As AI-generated and AI-assisted content becomes increasingly common, these small disclosures can help users understand where automation has been involved.

Importantly, the new Notes label does not appear to be an embedded watermark inside the text itself. That means it should not fundamentally change how copied or shared note content looks.

Samsung could eventually extend similar disclosures to more Galaxy AI writing features across One UI, particularly as the company adds more generative tools to Samsung Notes and other first-party apps.

For now, it is a small change, but one that makes Galaxy AI’s involvement easier to recognize.

Apple appears to be testing a noticeably different display direction for its 20th-anniversary iPhone lineup, and the latest leak gives us some of the clearest numbers yet. A new supply-chain claim points to a larger display on the iPhone 20 Pro, along with a smaller Dynamic Island and a four-edge curved design.

iPhone 20 Pro could get a larger display

DigitalChatStation reports that the iPhone 20 Pro is being tested with a 6.41-inch display offering a resolution of around 2686 x 1236 pixels. The iPhone 20 Pro Max, meanwhile, could feature a 6.96-inch panel with about 2912 x 1340 pixels.

These figures suggest the iPhone maker is looking beyond simply increasing screen size. The four-edge curved design could allow the company to push the display closer to the frame while keeping the overall footprint manageable.

Apple has reportedly been developing a quad-curved panel for its 20th-anniversary iPhone, with the display bending subtly around all four sides rather than using the deeper curves seen on some older Android phones.

Smaller Dynamic Island is still on the table

The same information mentions testing a small Smart Island, indicating that Apple may not completely eliminate the front cutout in the first iteration.

That fits with earlier reports suggesting Apple is working toward under-display Face ID and camera technology, but may still need a smaller punch-hole or Dynamic Island if the technology is not ready.

The leaked dimensions are particularly interesting because a nearly 7-inch Pro Max display would give Apple one of its largest iPhone screens yet. Combined with thinner bezels and curved edges, the phone could look considerably more immersive.

If these plans hold, the upcoming iPhone 20 Pro generation could mark Apple’s biggest display redesign since the iPhone X, with screen size, curved glass, and the front-camera cutout all receiving major changes.

Samsung Galaxy S27 series is coming early next year, but its RAM and memory tiers may not be surprising. The upcoming Galaxy phones may be available in the same memory configurations as their predecessors.

X tipster @WalleGalaxy revealed the RAM and memory variants of the Galaxy S27, Galaxy S27+, Galaxy S27 Pro, and Galaxy S27 Ultra. The newly added variant to the lineup could hit up to 1TB of storage without 16GB RAM.

Galaxy S27 Ultra will be the only 16GB flagship

Like the Galaxy S26 and S26+, the Galaxy S27 and S27+ may feature 12GB RAM and 256GB/512GB internal storage. The Galaxy S27 Pro may come with 12GB RAM, paired with 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB of internal memory.

Samsung’s Galaxy S27 Ultra might be the only model that will bring a 16GB RAM version, that too paired with 1TB of internal storage. The standard versions would have 12GB of RAM with 256GB and 512GB flash memory.
