Unfortunately, although LG Display passed Apple's quality test, but due to low production yield, mass production is not possible, so this year Apple's main OLED supplier will still be Samsung. But believe that with LG Display quality control Ascension, Apple’s desire to break Samsung’s monopoly is about to be realized.
Due to the evaluation of LG Display's OLED panel, Apple has not added too many orders to LG Display. It is expected that LG Display will ship 2 million OLED panels this year.
Although Apple is eager to break Samsung's monopoly on OLED panels, it still has to worry about its own quality problems. Industry leaders are hoping to make breakthroughs in the field of OLEDs to gain Apple's favor, such as BOE and Sharp have participated in Apple's OLED panel. Supplier testing, but neither of these major manufacturers failed the quality test of Apple.
Due to Samsung's monopoly of OLED panel supply, Apple's performance in OLED panel cost control has always been unsatisfactory. But with the entry of LG Display and the addition of more manufacturers, I believe Samsung's monopoly situation will eventually be broken, and the iPhone's The price is believed to have dropped.
