Apple’s upcoming iPhone 17 series has been in the conversation for a while. The latest news is about the display, which claims that the entire iPhone 17 lineup, including the new iPhone 17 Air, will feature Samsung’s latest M14 OLED panels.
Interestingly, this cutting-edge display panel isn’t a part of Samsung’s latest and best for 2025, the Galaxy S25 series.
What’s special about the M14 OLED?
The M14 OLED is Samsung’s most advanced display technology, which reportedly reaches 20-30% higher brightness than the previous M13 panel, a part of the Galaxy S24 series. The Galaxy S25 Ultra packs an improved version of it, dubbed as M13+, which is still inferior to what all the upcoming iPhone 17 models are going to get.
As for Apple, this is a significant shift. The M14 was previously reserved for the Pro models in the iPhone 16 series. By bringing the M14 to the entire iPhone 17 lineup, Apple is narrowing the gap between its standard and Pro models, offering a more premium experience across the board. Nonetheless, it remains to be seen if the previous rumor of a 120Hz refresh rate on the non-pro models finally comes true.
The Galaxy S25 series does feature AI ProScaler technology to enhance the display experience, but it can’t fully compensate for the hardware gap left by not adopting the M14. On the flip side, this move likely helps Samsung’s mobile division save costs, while Samsung Display benefits from selling the more expensive M14 panels to Apple.
For Apple fans, the rumored adoption of the M14 OLED across the entire iPhone 17 lineup is great news. It means brighter, more vibrant displays for all models, not just the Pro variants.
