Samsung Display is the dominant player in the OLED market and one of the main reasons is Apple’s decision to use the Korean manufacturer’s panels for its iPhones.
According to a new report, Samsung will supply more than 70% of OLEDs for iPhone 14 devices, including both iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus with their regular panels and iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max with their LTPO. view.

The Korean News The elec revealed that Apple plans to produce 120 million units of its latest major series. Of these, at least 80 million will have a Samsung panel, more than 20 million will use a screen from LG Display and about 6 million are for BOE, China’s largest producer of such panels. The vendor for the remaining units has yet to be determined.
The report also revealed that Samsung and LG Display are shipping panels for all four versions of the iPhone 14, while BOE is only producing 6.1-inch LTPS OLEDs for the vanilla iPhone 14.
Of the 80 million units, Samsung Display expects over 60 million to be for Pro models as these are the versions that are performing better than expected. LG Display is reportedly facing problems in the production line, allowing its fellow Korean manufacturer to get an even bigger share.
Looking at BOE, the insignificant sales of the iPhone 14 could be a headache, but the bigger problem is that Apple is reconsidering its contract after the Chinese manufacturer changed the circuit design without talking to Cupertino.
