Apple's iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max punch screens will be provided by LG and Samsung

Webmaster's House (ChinaZ.com) December 24 news: According to MacRumors, South Korean website The Elec news said that next year's iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max will use punch-hole LTPO OLED display panels provided by Samsung and LG.

Rumors that the 2022 iPhone model won't have "bangs" began in March, when Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said Apple would use a punch-hole design that has been used for Android devices for several years. The punched design is a cutout that places the front camera in the center, allowing a larger display area to replace the notch groove.

Guo Mingxi believes that at least high-end iPhone models will use a punched design, and if the income is good, all future iPhone models may use the same groove-free design.

There have been recent rumors that the non-Pro version of the iPhone 14 model (size 6. 1 inch and 6. 7 inches) will continue to feature notch grooves, while Apple will limit the punching design to more expensive iPhones. There will reportedly be no "iPhone 14 mini", and this year is the last iteration of the iPhone mini device.

According to The Elec's latest report, Apple's dominant OLED panel supplier Samsung will be 6. The 1-inch iPhone 14 Pro offers all the punched panels while sharing it with LG Display for the first time 6. Order for the 7-inch iPhone 14 Pro Max.

In this year's iPhone 13 series, Samsung offered the LTPO TFT OLED panel used by two professional models, but LG Display did not win any panel orders for the iPhone 13, although it did participate in the development of the panel with Apple.

So winning some orders for the iPhone 14 Pro Max is a big boost for LG as it tries to gain a place in Apple's iPhone supply chain. At the same time, it will help Apple reduce its dependence on Samsung and gain leverage in price negotiations.
