Samsung Display to Provide More Screens for the Next iPhone

For the next generation of iPhones, Apple could significantly hike the proportion of top-tier screens produced by Samsung Display, according to South Korean ETNews. Samsung’s latest OLEDs will be used across the next iPhone range compared with two of the current iPhone lineup, the media wrote.

The news outlet reported Samsung Display’s units are made from a material dubbed M14, which it stated is the highest-performing type of OLED currently available in commercial quantities. ETNews expects Samsung to provide screens for four iPhone models Apple plans to release later this year, measuring 6.1-inches, 6.3-inches, 6.6-inches and 6.9-inches.

According to the article, Samsung Display may not be the sole supplier of iPhone screens, though it would take the bulk at between 80 million and 90 million units. Chinese manufacturer BOE and South Korean rival LG Display are also on Apple’s supplier list. The arrangement could result in Apple running a higher-quality screen than Samsung’s own smartphones.
