IPhones coming in 2020 will come with OLED screens not manufactured by Samsung

According to a new report recently released by the Japanese business paper Nikkei, Apple appears to be about to complete the adoption of OLED screens manufactured by BOE for use in future iPhones. The flexible displays appear to be subject to rigorous testing, which increases the possibility that Apple imports this type of screen from China.

It is alleged that the company will decide by the end of this year to import OLED screens for the next BOE iPhone to reduce its dependence on Samsung. According to a source close to the discussions, it is possible that OLED monitors manufactured by BOE are 20% cheaper than Samsung monitors.

According to the rumor, Apple would desperately want to diversify its supply chain with regard to OLED screens designed for iPhone. Samsung is currently the main provider, which is bad for Apple as a concept, even if we do not take into account the fact that Samsung also manufactures phones in direct competition with the iPhone.

As a result, it is reported since last year that Apple is in talks with BOE to include the Chinese company in its OLED supply chain. In March of this year, BOE announced its intention to supply its screens to Apple. Last month, things started to go faster because of the export restrictions imposed by Japan on South Korea, which could affect their production plans. Samsung.
