The report claims that the driver control integrated circuit has also been supplied by Samsung, it's System LSI division is said to have supplied this crucial component which basically links the laptop to the Touch Bar. Neither Apple nor Samsung confirmed if this is indeed the case and we won't know for sure until a Touch Bar model of the new MacBook Pro is taken apart and its components detailed. However, it's not that hard to believe that Samsung might be the supplier given the fact that it virtually has a monopoly in the global OLED market.
We've already heard a lot of rumors in the past that Samsung might be one of the suppliers of OLED displays for the iPhone next year. Apple is expected to finally make the shift to OLED displays for the iPhone starting next year.
