iPhone 18 Tipped to Launch With Brighter Display, BOE May Lose Supplier Role
Apple’s iPhone 18 is tipped to deliver a major display brightness upgrade, with a leak claiming Apple has set far higher OLED requirements than before. The leak says that these targets could exclude BOE from supplying panels. Recent iPhones already reach up to 3,000 nits outdoors, suggesting the iPhone 18 will go further. Separately, another report suggests that BOE faces OLED production issues, prompting Apple to shift millions of display orders to Samsung Display ahead of the 2027 launch timeline.
