Apple is gradually reducing its dependence on Samsung

Analyst Ross Young of Display Supply Chain Consultants said there will only be one iPhone 14 model using a screen manufactured by Samsung.

Samsung is a leader in the smartphone display industry, but now other screen makers are catching up. Samsung is the sole supplier of low-temperature polycrystalline oxide (LTPO) thin film transistor (TFT) panels for the iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max, while LG and BOE manufacture the panels for the iPhone 13 and 13 mini.

This year, Samsung seems to be the sole supplier for iPhone 14 Pro 6.1-inch screen, and orders for the 6.7-inch Pro Max will be split between the company and LG. According to another report, 20-25% of orders for the 6.1-inch iPhone 14 have been filled by BOE and the rest, as well as the orders for the 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Max, seem to as will be split between LG and Samsung.

Apple seems to be asking LG to only produce screens for one Pro model because the company doesn’t have much experience in producing LTPO panels for smartphones and it doesn’t have as much capacity as Samsung.

LTPO panels are important for enabling dynamic refresh rates, and the latest rumor is another indication that regular models will only support 60Hz refresh rates.

It is likely that the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max will remove the trademark notch to switch to the edges and holes. These models are also expected to feature a new primary sensor, which could become the best camera phone of 2022, and is also likely to be offered with a powerful processor manufactured on an advanced process node. than last year’s 5nm A15 Bionic.

Apple is expected to unveil the new iPhone in September this year.
