A new report has suggested that BOE might be the firm that will supply Apple with OLED LTPO displays for its higher end iPhones in 2023. The panels will be for the iPhone 15 Pro series.
According to The Elec, the Chinese display maker will be producing and supplying OLED LTPO panels to the Cupertino based giant next year. The company was previously unsuccessful in supplying OLED screens for the iPhone 12 series, but did manage to enter the supply chain for the current gen flagship iPhone 13 lineup. However, it only made panels for the base model, while the higher end Pro variants were supplied by Samsung Display.
But now, this might change as BOE is looking to expand its OLED LTPO panel manufacturing to allow production of up 120Hz refresh rate screens. In other words, this report also suggests that the iPhone 15 Pro will feature 120Hz variable refresh rate. With the upcoming iPhone 14 series, BOE will continue to supply displays for the lower end model while Pro variants will still be supplied with Samsung and LG.
Although, the iPhone 15 series will only launch by next year, meanwhile, the iPhone 14 series is arriving in the second half of this year. It is expected to finally bring a redesign to the iPhone design and include a pill shaped cutout on the front for its selfie shooter and TrueDepth system. Previously, we had event reported on BOE supplying the company with 15 inch OLED displays for its future iPads. So it seems that the firm is moving up the Apple supply chain.
