iPhone 18 Pro getting new display upgrade with two benefits, per report
Key Points:
- The iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max will maintain their 6.3-inch and 6.9-inch display sizes but will feature an upgrade to LTPO+ OLED panels for enhanced power efficiency and Always-On Display performance.
- Samsung and LG are expected to be the primary suppliers of these LTPO+ panels, as BOE failed to secure Apple's approval due to lower panel quality and manufacturing yield.
- LTPO+ technology improves upon standard LTPO by extending oxide usage to driving TFTs, allowing finer current control, dynamic refresh rate adjustments, and better optimization for battery life and display responsiveness.
- Benefits of LTPO+ include longer battery life and smoother, less flickering displays in low-light conditions, enhancing the user experience of the Always-On Display feature.
- It remains unclear if the iPhone Ultra model will also adopt LTPO+ technology, with further details expected in future reports.
