A report details that Apple has ordered over 120 million OLED panels for the iPhone 14, with 70% owned by Samsung alone.
We know that Apple relies on other companies to assemble the necessary components to assemble your devices. He is the case of OLED screenssame as they are 70% for Samsung used in iPhone 14. The recent report from The Elec indicates that this will be the case at the end of 2022.
Samsung is the leader in providing OLED screens for the iPhone 14
According to the report, Apple has requested more than 120 million OLED panels for the iPhone 14 from its suppliers
There is a significant difference in the panels provided. Samsung has an advantage since LG offers LTPS type screens for the iPhone 14 and LTPO in the case of the iPhone 14 Pro Max. Speaking of BOE, the screens are LTPS type. DisplayMate says the larger iPhone screen in the Pro version is the best on the market.
Further data from The Elec mentions that at least 60 million panels will be included in iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. One of the reasons Apple is leaning towards Samsung, at least in this bid, is due to LG’s consistent production failures. Where you can appreciate the quality of these panels is in the always-on screen feature, OLED is much better than IPS LCD.
The number of OLED panels could increase in the near future
One of the factors that characterizes Apple is to take care of even the smallest detail, taking this situation into account. those of Cupertino are already working on the next generation you could take a leap by renaming your most powerful device. In addition to the fact that they plan to launch the third generation of the iPhone SE in 2024
The new changes may produce more demanding requirements, at least in the increase of OLED panels. The iPad in 2024 could also include OLED in the Pro range.
Over the next two years, we may have more information about the Apple project and its products that will migrate to OLED screens. Currently, the largest iPad which is iPad Pro 12.9 has miniLED and iPhone SE has IPS LCD panel which would increase its size to 6.1 inches. In essence of the latter, we would have an iPhone XR with the change in screen type.
Will Apple be able to convince us of these screen changes? OLED has long resisted on the iPhone, remember that the company’s first device to launch this type of panel was the first generation of its smartwatch, the Apple Watch.
