Apple is finally working on syndicating the Samsung iPhone show
OLED shows the mantra that Samsung’s project via Apple’s iPhone may eventually start to crumble, Korean media report, as this year LG was asked to double supply of OLED screens to Apple, and surprisingly messy BOE providers would get a slice of the cake, all to Samsung Display’s disadvantage.
Elec details that this year Apple will need 169 million iPhone OLED boards, a 47.6% increase compared to 2020. Of these, only 65.1% will be made by Samsung, a huge drop from last year’s 78.3%. The rest will come from LG and BOE, and according to LG, that number will be 50 million units, or double the 25 million provided in 2020.
Obviously, that leaves LG with a small but big price focus as far as unit expansion in iPhone display devices. Add in the 5% that BOE will give Apple, and, interestingly since the iPhone X, Apple will get 33% of its OLED boards outside of the Samsung domain.
All things considered, 2020 is a major year when Apple presents iPhone 12 group four where all handsets use OLED display innovation. It took 9 years for the company to switch to OLED after the first Galaxy S was presented by Samsung with an amazing 480×800 Super AMOLED screen but then it went into trouble, but it came because innovation was cheaper and widespread.
Unfortunately, everywhere doesn’t really imply that one of a kind has changed with respect to OLED screens, and relying on one provider implies a change in value, so Apple is looking for a way out of codependency with Samsung, including launching a new iPad Pro with miniLED Innovation as opposed to. shoot for OLED.
Around the time of the iPhone 11, Apple tried again to stay away from Samsung by checking LG and BOE but their results were barely enough for anything other than small clusters or repair parts, so Samsung again got a lot of OLED iPhone supply orders. .
A year ago, though, Apple was clearly more confident that LG could finally afford it, and asked 20 million 6.1-inch iPhone 12 boards from it. Keep in mind that 12 is a direct receiver of the iPhone 11 which is why it has come to be the foremost. phones to buy in the US since shipment which says a lot about how far LG quality control can get.
The way Apple trusts LG with its most famous iPhone OLED board size shows a level of readiness that LG probably didn’t have a year ago, and clarifies the big effort and priorities of its line of small and medium sized OLED boards.
Until the iPhone 12 cluster, Apple rarely tried things with the LG OLED show, as small and mid-sized ones weren’t a solid corporate suit, anything like a big TV board. All things considered, that leaves LG to an optional presentation supply capacity for iPhone screen replacement or a wearable device like the Apple Watch.
The best-in-class Chinese OLED maker from BOE has also opted in for the iPhone 12’s 6.1-inch OLED screen, but it used to deliver helpless results of sufficient quality, leaving Apple with only Samsung and a bit of LG as the source of OLED manufacturing.
This year, however, iPhone 13 and iPhone 12 units available for use will be embellished with more boards not from Samsung’s birthplace, and that pattern will probably continue to increase, until Apple decides it needs to make a foldable iPhone. , then all provider upgrade bets are disabled.
With the Mate X2 we recently examined, however, Huawei is showing that it can make an amazing foldable phone without switching to Samsung’s customizable boards, taking the storefront off BOE, so regardless of whether Apple chooses to cut corners, that is. will in any case have a choice other than Samsung at that, too.
