Apple will use OLED displays made by the Chinese company BOE for the iPhone 14 line, according to a new Chinese report today.
Allegedly, the BOE panels for the upcoming iPhones were certified by Apple last Thursday, and BOE plans to start mass-producing them by the end of this month. Mass shipments of the panels to Apple will take place in September, the month in which the Cupertino company traditionally announces the new iPhones.
BOE’s role in the iPhone 14 supply chain was questioned for a few weeks after Apple discovered that BOE unilaterally changed some design elements of its iPhone 13 panels. For a while, the Chinese display maker was in hot water, but apparently the tide has turned now and BOE will continue to supply Apple for its upcoming products.
BOE should only provide 6.1-inch LTPS OLED panels for the vanilla iPhone 14. Industry experts estimate that Apple will order 90 million display panels for the iPhone 14 family this year, of which 60 million will come from Samsung Display, 25 million from LG Display and 5 million from BOE. BOE has previously supplied the panels for both iPhone 12 and iPhone 13.
