LG becomes the main screen supplier for the Apple Watch

The arrival of the iPhone X to the market, led to the expected adoption by Apple of OLED-type screens, screens that offer us not only more vivid colors, but also allow us save battery if we use applications with dark themes, such as black.

But the iPhone X was not the first mobile device to implement this type of screen, but rather It was the Apple Watch. While Samsung has become the main, and almost only, provider of OLED displays for the iPhone X, the same is not the case with the Apple Watch.

LG has become the leading provider of OLED displays for the Apple Watch, according to the latest report from the IHS Markit firm and that we see published in Business Korea. According to this report, LG has sent Apple 10.64 million OLED screens for the Apple Watch, making 41,4% of the total screens manufactured for this device. Second, we find the ubiquitous Samsung, who has shipped 8.95 million displays for the Apple Watch, taking 34,8% of the pie.

El rest of manufacturers that Apple has trusted to manufacture the Apple Watch screen they are Everdisplay Optronics with 4.17 million units and 16,2% of the total; AUO with 1.47 million units and 5.7% and BOE with only 380.000 units shipped and a share of 1.5%.

Despite that LG won this battle, What is really important is found on the screen of the next iPhone, which according to most rumors will be again manufactured by Samsung, at least in the vast majority as with the iPhone X, we do not know if because LG is not capable of exceeding the quality requirements demanded by Apple or its production cannot be compared to that offered by Samsung today.
