Apple Green-Lights iPhone 16 Pro Display Production

[MacRumors]

Samsung Display and LG Display have been granted approval for mass production of OLED screens for Apple's upcoming iPhone 16 Pro models, Korea's The Elec reports.

Both suppliers apparently received approval earlier this month, paving the way for the commencement of mass production of screens for the iPhone 16 Pro models. While Samsung Display will supply OLED screens for all four iPhone 16 models, LG Display will supply screens exclusively for the Pro models. Additionally, BOE is expected to help supply OLED displays for the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus.

The development is particularly noteworthy for LG, which has historically struggled to meet Apple's production deadlines. Last year, LG Display received approval for the iPhone 15 Pro OLED screens several months after Samsung Display, allowing Samsung to increase its market share and secure higher prices.

Samsung Display is expected to undergo the approval process for the iPhone 16 Pro Max's OLED screens by the end of this month, with LG Display scheduled to follow in the middle of June. Currently, Samsung Display has received approval for the standard iPhone 16 and the iPhone 16 Pro, with the Plus and Pro Max models soon to follow.

The Elec claims that differences between the OLED displays for the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro are minimal, but the bezels may be slightly thinner thanks to Border Reduction Structure (BRS) technology. The entire iPhone 16 lineup is expected to launch in the fall.

MLA?

 

[Yimbaz]

Well it’s still an OLED display so I hope they red light and blue light it too.

 

[zombierunner]

Skip this one I think. 17 will have under display face id.

I'm doubting it.

Oh no, it will have green tint!

Yup. Probably. Or not.

MLA?

The source says "no significant differences" from the 15, so apparently not.

They can't keep the same display 3 years in a row. I bet this year we have new OLED material with increased nits and MLA pretty much, but lets see.

Well, it's about time for me to replace my iPhone 11 Pro Max... time to get the iPhone 12SSSS.

They are increasing the display size. And otherwise there's enough new features to market, in addition to the AI: https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-16/

That's aside. I'm sure we are getting new OLED material. But still not sure about MLA.

The guy who claimed that the iPhone 17 will have under-display Face ID also claimed that the iPhone 16 would have it back in 2022

 

[iMac The Knife]

Even if I hadn't bailed on the iPhone after the 12 Pro Max, I still wouldn't be interested in the iPhone 16 (10.6 really). I am all for people getting excited for updated Apple products, because I remember how much I used to enjoy it...but, I don't understand how people can even get remotely excited about Apple products anymore.

Here we go with the tutti-fruitti, phoney-baloney, plastic banana, good time, rock-n-roll Apple PR “leaks.” Apple didn’t just “green light” anything. The display has been locked-in for months. This is just the start of normal production that was scheduled many months ago.

✅ 💯

To tweak that,

“This is just the start of the normal leak process that was scheduled many months ago!” 😁​

17 will have under display face id.

Gurman says so, so it must be true.

But if you wait a week, he'll say it won't have it.

He's the master at hedging his bets.

On an iPhone 12 mini. Decided to hold off on the 15 pro max because it just doesn’t feel like it brought enough changes for me So I decided to replace the battery on my 12 mini. It’s running better but it still feels “sluggish” now. Should I get the 16 pro max or wait for the maybe redesigned iPhone 17?

 

[BorisDG]

From 12 to 16 should be big enough upgrade imo. It depends if you are still satisfied with your current one.

 

[GuyDouche]

I’m sure Tim Apple is pissed having Samsung manufacture their displays.

iPhone 16 Pro Max but if you are talking about regular iPhone than iPhone 17 will

Will see get a tandem OLED display like the new ipad pros? 🤞

 

[Digital Dude]

Still running my 12Max because I’m just not seeing that much year-to-year improvements. I’ve been toying’ with the idea of trying an android device, so maybe this year will be it. 🤷‍♂️

iPhone can already hit 2000nits, what's the need for tandem display on a phone ?

That’s been said to many times and never happens.
