The iPhone 14 display specs leak again, as new reports detail Apple’s iPhone manufacturing plans and screen suppliers.
Apple should unveil the iPhone 14 series in mid-September, assuming the rumored lockdown-related development delays aren’t significant. We’re getting four new iPhones in 2022, just like the previous two years. However, the mini size is going away in favor of a non-Pro version of the iPhone 13 Pro. Also, Apple adopted a different approach for the iPhone 14 series, differentiating the non-Pro and Pro models more than ever. It’s not just the display design that’s changing for the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro models, but also the specs. The iPhone 14 series will bring a big redesign for the iPhone 14 Pro models, with a new report highlighting the various differences between the OLED panels that Apple will employ this year. The analysts at Omdia (via ITHome) have a new report detailing Apple’s purported plans for the iPhone 14 and iPhone 15 series when it comes to display specs and manufacturers. The report reiterates some of the iPhone 14 display claims we saw in other reports. Samsung Display, LG Display, and BOE will be the providers of OLED panels this year, with the former winning the lion’s share of orders. The report is not surprising, but it’s all the more interesting considering a widely covered disagreement between BOE and Apple a few weeks back. The Chinese display makers supposedly made changes to the manufacturing process without explicit approval from Apple, jeopardizing a lucrative business deal with the iPhone maker. Omdia believes Samsung will supply OLED panels for all iPhone 14 models. That includes the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Max (referred to as iPhone 14 Plus in the report), iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max.
