Apple is evaluating the OLED screens for the iPhone 14 this week before mass production, reports The Elec.
According to reports, the OLED display panels in question are intended for the standard 6.1-inch iPhone 14 model, with mass production starting between July and August.
The screens are from Chinese display panel maker BOE, which was embroiled in a controversy earlier this year after Apple discovered that the supplier had secretly changed the circuit width of thin-film transistors to OLED panels for the iPhone 13. After BOE executives visited Cupertino to solve the problem. Apple’s situation, OLED panels were approved once again, mainly because their presence in the supply chain pressures Samsung Display and LG Display to be more competitive and reduce prices.
The debacle with changes to the iPhone 13 screen is likely to limit the number of screens Apple is asking BOE for around five million. BOE expects to receive approval from Apple before the end of June, but the supplier is said to be several weeks behind Samsung and LG. Despite delays with manufacturers in China, the iPhone 14 line is expected to launch normally in the fall.
