Overview

  • An industry report says LG Display is lobbying Apple to adopt stacked-emitter OLED panels in iPhones targeted for 2028.
  • Apple has not made a decision on using tandem OLED for iPhones, keeping any rollout tentative.
  • Tandem OLED promises higher brightness, better power efficiency, and longer panel lifespan versus single-layer screens.
  • Apple already uses tandem OLED in its M4 iPad Pro lineup, with LG supplying most panels and Samsung providing the rest.
  • A multi-supplier plan involving Samsung and BOE is expected if Apple proceeds, and a blue-only 'simplified tandem' variant is under review.
