According to a Korean tech trade publication, Apple is set to use LG and Samsung displays in its upcoming iPhone 14 series. The two companies are already suppliers of hole-punched OLED displays.
However, the Korean firms are expected to provide a bigger share of the OLED panels for the Pro Max. This could be a good sign for the iPhone maker. The companies have worked together in the past and have excellent reputations in the industry.
Analyst Kuo also said that LG will supply the display panels for the iPhone 14 Pro Max. This would be a change from the notch design used on the iPhone 13 Pro/Pro Max.
The new iPhones will have a 120Hz screen, which will improve viewing angles. While the display panel will be supplied by Samsung and LG, the companies could work together in producing the entire screen.
