Apple Chooses BOE Over Samsung for iPhone SE 4 OLED Screens

In a strategic shift, Apple secures a deal with BOE for the manufacture of OLED screens for the iPhone SE 4, aiming for a 2025 release.

The iPhone SE 4, expected to launch in 2025, will feature an OLED screen manufactured by Chinese firm BOE, marking a shift from previous supplier Samsung.
Apple aimed for a $25 price per panel for the iPhone SE 4 displays, leading to Samsung's withdrawal from negotiations over pricing concerns.
The iPhone SE 4 is anticipated to adopt a design similar to the iPhone 14, including Face ID, and possibly use components from older iPhone models to cut costs.
BOE's ability to meet Apple's pricing and technical requirements makes it the exclusive supplier for the iPhone SE 4's OLED displays, with an estimated order of 15 million panels.
Despite previous rumors, Apple's decision to proceed with the iPhone SE 4 suggests no plans for developing its own 5G modems, focusing instead on its partnership with Qualcomm.
