iPhone 18 Pro's LTPO+ Display Upgrade to Come From Samsung, LG
Key Points:
- Apple is set to finalize OLED panel approvals for the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max this month, with Samsung Display and LG Display expected to be the primary suppliers.
- China's BOE has been excluded from the premium supply chain for the iPhone 18 Pro models due to quality and yield issues with its LTPO+ technology.
- The iPhone 18 Pro models will feature upgraded LTPO+ display technology, offering improved power efficiency and potentially longer battery life through finer control of OLED light emission.
- Samsung's under-screen infrared technology may be integrated into the iPhone 18 Pro, possibly enabling some Face ID components to be placed beneath the display and allowing a smaller Dynamic Island.
- Apple is anticipated to announce the iPhone 18 Pro models in September.
