Anonymous, 21 Apr 2021LG panels are terrible, Samsung and BOE make better ones so I hope they mark which phones have... moreFunny, because 12 and 12 Pro use oled from LG.
Nobody complains.
Apple's Display Needs:
Samsung - OLEDs
LG - miniLED (and future microLED/Synthetic-OLED)
BOE - LCD-IPS

But there is a reason why Samsung are making the majority, Samsung is the King Of Displays despite what haters say

These guys can keep saying fragmentation all they want, but the fragmentation like diversity is our strength.
I wasn't worried when buying my Find X3 pro as to which company panel I'll get... never had to deal with display issues arising out of panels being from different manufacturers on the same phone

Last year reports were the same but BOE was discarded because it couldn't meet apple's quality requirements.
"Diversify"
More like force one vendor to offer a better deal now that the second vendor ostensibly offers these panels as well.

Haven't heard from LG regarding MicroLED
beep bop boop, 21 Apr 2021Wait i thought Apple bought their displays from Samsung and LG. who is BOE?BOE is a quite big display (panel) manufacturer. They are OEM manufacturer, supplying other brands with their panels. I don't think they have their own product lines.
beep bop boop, 21 Apr 2021Wait i thought Apple bought their displays from Samsung and LG. who is BOE?The main apple display supplier
I wonder if this will mean cheaper iPhones?
Jerry101923, 21 Apr 2021How to know exactly which iPhone has which display provider's display?My guess would be that they'll have them sorted per vendor on single model. For example they'll source LG displays for the SE and vanilla models, BOE for Pro and Samsung for Pro Max. Or something along those lines. I don't think they can afford to use different ones within same model because even if they are the same on paper, sooner or later something would indicate inferiority or superiority of one and that would suck for owners of particular model range to get that inferior display even though they bought the same model as everyone else.

Take your Samsung hatred elsewhere
They'll be having issues just like the Pixel phones made with LG displays.
Anonymous, 21 Apr 2021They've been saying that for years but still go back to using Samsung.they never said they will stop buying from sammy, even this article didn't say they will stop, it just says they will get more quantity from other companies, presumably sammy can't make enough for them, so sammy is still and most likely will always be their number one provider.
Why do you think Samsung's supply will be reduced?
To reduce profit for them?
Also, Samsung being the primary supplier isn't an indication of quality...it could be to reduce cost (their panels aren't as good as LG's)
