The display in a smartphone is crucial element since it is the a part of the phone that we interact with on a regular basis. As you recognize, Samsung produces the perfect displays on the earth. Not only do they use their displays for their very own phones, but additionally they outsource them to other smartphone manufacturers, including Apple.
iPhone 14 will again use OLEDs from Samsung, but Apple has also decided to diversify outsourcing displays. As a substitute of relying solely on Samsung displays, it also decided to purchase them from LG and a Chinese display manufacturer called BOE.
BOE has been trying to amass Apple as a customer for years, and just a few days ago we received a report that Apple has finally decided to amass BOE because the third display supplier for the iPhone 14 after Samsung and LG. But something happened.
BOE screwed up and I actually find it really funny. Here’s what happened. After receiving an order to provide almost 40 million iPhone displays in 2022, that’s, over LG, BOE suddenly stopped being an iPhone supplier. Why? Well, BOE tried to get Apple out quickly, but Apple discovered about it. Specifically, BOE tried to cut back operating costs by changing the design of OLED panels, for instance by increasing the width of the thin-film transistor circuit. But they did all this without informing Apple. Principally, the BOE thought they might make changes to the design and save themselves lots of money, hoping Apple would not discover.
Truthfully, how silly does the BOE need to be to even think they will go behind Apple’s back and hope Tim Cook doesn’t discover about it. Making an unauthorized design change to a big customer like Apple is clearly inappropriate within the industry, and Apple didn’t hesitate to drop BOE from its iPhone display supplier.
That is great news for Samsung and even LG, by the best way, because it might mean that the 40 million OLEDs that Apple ordered the BOE to provide would now be transferred to Apple’s trusted OLED manufacturers, Samsung and LG. And never only would this increase Samsung and LG’s revenues, but Samsung would even have one less competitor to fret about.
Subsequently, the costs of the iPhone 14 have been revealed. In keeping with Jon Prosser, the costs of the iPhone 14 will start from $799, and for the 14 Pro – $899. Then again, the iPhone 14 Pro prices will start at $1,099 and $1,199 for the 14 Pro Max. Principally a $100 price increase. By the best way, the value increase just isn’t the results of confusion with the BOE.
We even have a 3D mockup of the iPhone 14 Pro Max from ShrimpApplepro that shows how large the pill-shaped notch shall be in comparison with the 13 Peo Max. Once more, it looks like Apple decided to display the Face ID components and front camera as separate cutouts somewhat than a solid cutout, and called it quits. It also shows that the camera hump shall be much larger and far rounder than on the 13 Pro Max. After all, remember to subscribe to all updates on iPhone 14
