Although Apple designs or manufactures most of the hardware for its products, there are some exceptions. We know that Apple has been working with other manufacturers for years, especially on the screen. Even Samsung, which we can consider as its arch-rival, produced screens for Apple for a while. By 2022, a situation that has become normal is happening again. For Apple’s new generation iPad production, LG took the lead.
LG is preparing to produce OLED screens for Apple
OLED technology, which is used on the screen of many products from television to phone, provides a good experience by offering extremely realistic colors. Apple fans have been waiting for an iPad model using an OLED display for years. Although the latest reports say that this will come a little late, according to the latest news, LG has started to make agreements with its suppliers for production. LG is known to have a reputation in the industry for producing OLED displays. Therefore, it is not surprising that LG will make this external production.
According to reports, LG started early work to put the screens that Apple ordered into mass production in 2024. It means that the first contacts are made with the production partners for the procurement of the materials required for the production. Considering that even the production of OLED screens will take place in 2024, we have to wait a long time to see this technology in products.
It’s a big step for the OLED display to join the iPad world. Although we have seen other technologies that offer good images in Apple products to date, the OLED change will directly affect product performances in the coming years.
iPad screens
LG left the smartphone industry last year and started to take place in this industry only as a parts manufacturing partner. Instead of trying to rival Apple, they chose to make a profit by producing screens for Apple, and that plan seems to be working.
