Samsung lost screen production for iPhone 14 for this reason-Hi-tech fashion

The latest rumors say that Samsung will be the exclusive OLED screen supplier for an iPhone 14 model.

Apple has been buying OLED screens from Samsung for iPhones since 2017, but the Cupertino giant is now looking to reduce its dependence on the Korean “tycoon”. According to sources from Ross Young, who is in the display industry, there will only be 1 iPhone 14 model using a screen exclusively produced by Samsung.

Samsung is an industry leader in smartphone displays, but other manufacturers are catching up. The company is the sole supplier of low-temperature display (LTPO) (TFT) for iPhone 13″ Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Maxwhile LG and BOE manufacture screens for iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini.

This year, Samsung will only be the exclusive supplier for the iPhone 14 Pro (6.1-inch screen) and screen orders for the iPhone 14 Pro Max (6.7-inch screen) will be split between the company and Samsung. and LG. According to another report, 20 – 25% of orders for iPhone 14 (6.1 inch screen) have been taken by BOE and the rest, including the 6.7 inch screen of iPhone 14 Max will be split. between LG and Samsung.

Apple will ask LG to only produce screens for one iPhone Pro model because the company lacks experience in producing LTPO screens for smartphones and it doesn’t have as much capacity as Samsung.

The LTPO display is very important, which will enable adaptive refresh rate for smartphones. And the latest rumor is another sign that the more affordable iPhone models will only support 60Hz refresh rates.

Most likely, the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max pair will remove the trademark “rabbit ears” to switch to “pill” and “perforated” form. The iPhone models are also expected to have a new main sensor, which will become the best camera smartphone of 2022 and is powered by a chip manufactured on a more advanced process than last year’s 5nm A15 Bionic.

Particularly, the iPhone 14 / iPhone 14 Max duo will provide more RAM than the current product line. On schedule, Apple is expected to announce the iPhone 2022 series this September.
