Samsung will supply fewer OLED screens to Apple with the arrival of BOE Technology

The iPhone 2020 will also feature OLED display like its predecessors the iPhone X, XS and now the iPhone 11. The quality of the panels of the latest model have surprised the most critical and it is expected that Apple will continue in the line of improving and offering better panels in the future. Currently, it is Samsung and LG that are responsible for providing the OLED screens to Apple. However, the latest reports suggest that Apple would decrease orders to Samsung. To make up for it, would increase screen orders to BOE Technology whose investment in this type of technology has increased in recent months.

Apple continues to diversify and would hire BOE Technology

BOE Technology It is not an unknown company. This company has already made screens for iPads and MacBooks. According to the IHS Markets, it is the second company with the best market share of OLED panels, behind Samsung. In addition, it is one of the most important suppliers of displays to Huawei and other Asian brands. In their quest to improve their production and popularity, there is speculation about hiring by large companies such as Apple and LG Electronics of OLED screens.

In fact, the latest report leaked by RPRNA ensures that Apple could significantly increase orders for OLED displays from BOE Technology. In this way, the big apple continues on its way to get rid of that traditional dependence on Samsung:

BOE suministrará pantallas OLED para los iPhones en 2020, más que LG y menos que Samsung. […] se convirtió recientemente en el líder mundial del panel LCD de TV y ahora la compañía ha cambiado su enfoque a los paneles OLED. Según los informes de los medios coreanos, la pantalla OLED de BOE dará una fuerte competencia a Samsung en los próximos 2 años.

The figures speak for themselves and is that Apple could start receiving the panels for the iPhone 2020. In addition, the forecasts predict more than 45 million OLED panels for the iPhone 2021. It should be noted that the panels used by the latest terminals had a special technology that allowed the extra layer that Apple had introduced as a "touch-sensitive layer" to be unified in the same layer.
