Apple’s iPhone 17e Tipped to Use BOE 6.1-Inch LTPS OLED With Thinner Bezels and 60Hz

Supply-chain reporting points to BOE leading panel orders and roughly 8 million displays planned for an early‑2026 budget iPhone.

Overview

  • BOE is reported as the primary display supplier for the iPhone 17e, with Samsung Display and LG Display handling additional volume.
  • The phone is expected to reuse a 6.1-inch LTPS OLED similar to the 16e but with slimmer bezels and a standard 60Hz refresh, indicating no ProMotion.
  • Suppliers are said to be preparing about 8 million display units for the first half of 2026, suggesting a defined launch window.
  • Multiple outlets report the A19 chip for the 17e, with a likely carryover of a single 48MP rear camera aimed at keeping costs down.
  • Key visible features remain uncertain, with conflicting leaks over Dynamic Island versus a notch and whether the selfie camera is 12MP or an 18MP Center Stage unit.
