It is rumored that Apple chose BOE as the iPhone SE4 screen supplier

According to reports, Chinese screen maker BOE has become the OLED panel supplier for Apple's iPhone SE4 in the middle of this month, while Samsung has withdrawn from the competition because Apple's bid is too low, giving the market to BOE.

According to previous revelations, iPhone SE4 will be equipped with a 6.1-inch OLED screen, and the screen quality will be the same as that of iPhone 14, that is, there is no chance of high brushing. Since some screen manufacturers don't need to invest in additional R&D, Apple wants to be able to get screen supply at a lower price.

According to the report, Apple's psychological expectation for the screen cost of the iPhone SE4 is $25, but Samsung believes that the minimum price per screen is $30, so the two have not reached a cooperation.

It is worth mentioning that it was revealed that another screen manufacturer in China, Tianma, also plans to enter Apple's supply chain, but it seems that because the technical requirements do not meet Apple's requirements, it has not been able to obtain an order for the screen of the iPhone SE4.

However, it should be noted that rumors about BOE supplying screens for Apple's iPhones began a few years ago, such as providing screens for the iPhone 14/15 series, etc., but BOE has never really entered the Apple screen supply chain. Therefore, the rumors this time have given people a feeling of "wolf is coming", and I am not very optimistic about whether BOE will supply the screen for the iPhone SE4.

For the iPhone SE4, everyone can still look forward to it. The iPhone SE4 is expected to be released next year, using a USB-C port, and has the same custom buttons as the iPhone 15 Pro, but the screen is still a notch screen design, without a dynamic island, and the camera is still a single-camera design, with 48 million pixels.
