Apple will turn to BOE to supply the OLED panels for next year’s iPhone SE 4, per supply chain sources.
BOE was reportedly dropped from shipping the iPhone 15 and OLED iPad due to reported quality issues on Cupertino’s side. Samsung Display and LG Display will supply these screens.
The iPhone SE 4 will inherit the iPhone 14 body and some of its components, which means it will be the first OLED SE model. It will use a 6.1-inch LTPS (low-temperature polycrystalline silicon) TFT (thin-film transistor) display, which is easier to produce than the LTPO (low-temperature polycrystalline oxide) panels on the Pro models.
The part is said to cost around $40, more than twice the price of the $100 screens for the Pro models.
