It is suggested that Samsung will be the one that will supply the rigid-flexible printed circuit boards (RFPCB) to Apple for its upcoming iPhone 13 phones, the BGR India reported. RFPCB is the component that binds the OLED display panel with the mainboard. This, in turn, will make room for the 120Hz refresh rate for the iPhone 13.

As per the report, Support for a 120Hz display will be extended to the iPhone 13 Pro and the iPhone 13 Pro Max. The other two models (iPhone 13, 13 Mini) will stick to a 60Hz display that will use multiplex FPCB, the report said,

Since Samsung already is a key OLED panel supplier, it makes sense for the Cupertino tech major to source the RFPCB from Samsung Electro-Mechanics. Korean firms Bhflex and Youngpoong Electronics are expected to be contributors too.

Also, the iPhone 13 Pro models are expected to come with LTPO (low-temperature polycrystalline oxide) display tech for an adaptive refresh rate and lower power consumption on the display’s part. Apart from this, the iPhone 13 series is expected to come with the A15 Bionic chip and run the upcoming iOS 15.

All the smartphones are expected to come with a smaller notch, bigger batteries, improved cameras, and support for 5G (much like the iPhone 12 lineup). While the devices will come with the same flat edges seen on the current iPhones, there could be a slight change in the appearance of the rear camera module, the report said.
