Apple cooperates with many companies on the components used by the products. For example, the screens used in the company’s iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch and Mac series are produced by companies such as Samsung, BOE and LG. The US company, which has started to gradually end its screen partnership with Samsung, will begin to pull its own rope in the coming years.
Apple will start producing its own screens
A recent report revealed that the home screen supplier of the standard and Plus models of the upcoming iPhone 15 series is BOE with 70 percent. At this point, the partnership between Apple and Samsung began to end slowly. A new report from Bloomberg today claimed that the US-based firm will soon begin manufacturing its own screens.
Shock from Apple to screen suppliers! 2024 will be the turning point
Of course, this will not happen overnight. Because the report says that the company will start offering its own panels to users with high-end Apple Watch models towards the end of 2024 at the earliest. In fact, at this point, it is highly likely that micro LED screens will come instead of the existing OLED panels.
Apple’s efforts to develop its own display first surfaced in 2018. The company was even expected to introduce its own production screens in 2020, but was delayed due to costs and technical difficulties associated with development. However, it seems that the company does not want to wait any longer for the display and aims to minimize reliance on display suppliers, namely third-party companies, in a few years.
Bloomberg’s report says that the company’s work to produce its own screens is one of the most critical projects. It is expected that a supplier will be assisted in the mass production of the new screens, which are currently being tested on the Apple Watch Ultra model at its facilities in Santa Clara, California. If this happens, Apple screens will begin to appear first in Apple Watch models and later in products such as iPhone in a few years.
