According to a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/apple-struggles-with-effort-to-diversify-screen-suppliers-1524216606?mod=e2twd\">report<\/a>\u00a0by\u00a0<em>The Wall Street Journal<\/em>, LG Display is struggling to make the OLED panels Apple wants for upcoming iPhone models. Apple has been working with LG, hoping it could become its second supplier of OLED smartphone panels. Apple currently sources the OLED panels for the iPhone X from rival Samsung.<\/p>\n<p>The report claims that\u00a0South Korea\u2019s LG Display ran into &#8220;manufacturing problems&#8221; that held up display production, causing LG to fall behind Apple&#8217;s pre-production timeline. Apple reportedly asked LG to go through a third round of prototype production for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2018\/4\/20\/17261008\/apple-iphone-x-lg-display-oled-supply-rumors\"><strong>OLED<\/strong><\/a> panels, an unusual step for most component manufacturers. Ars has reached out to Apple for further comment.<\/p>\n<p>If <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lg.com\"><strong>LG<\/strong><\/a> can&#8217;t fix the problems it has reportedly been having and satisfy Apple&#8217;s needs, it&#8217;s unlikely that the company would be able to provide finished <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2018-03-01\/iphone-x-was-supposed-to-start-oled-boom-it-s-not-working-out\"><strong>OLED<\/strong><\/a> panels for the next iPhones. According to people familiar with the matter, mass-production of fall-scheduled iPhone models typically begins in July.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/gadgets\/2018\/02\/report-apple-plans-three-new-iphones-for-2018-and-theyre-all-like-the-iphone-x\/\">Three new iPhones<\/a>\u00a0are likely for a fall reveal: 5.8-inch and 6.5-inch models both with OLED displays, plus a lower-cost, 6.1-inch LCD model. OLED displays, among other expensive components, drove up the cost of the iPhone X, and Apple wants to diversify its OLED panel manufacturers in efforts to keep costs down. Apple currently relies on Samsung for smartphone OLED displays\u2014which are as expensive as $97 per panel\u2014and it may have to continue to do so. That could mean similar or higher production costs for the two upcoming OLED models, giving Apple less flexibility to lower iPhone prices.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.samsung.com\"><strong>Samsung<\/strong><\/a> has a strong hold on the smartphone OLED display market, as it uses them in its own smartphones and sells them to other companies to be used in rival smartphones. LG&#8217;s OLED efforts have excelled in larger display markets as the company produces many OLED TVs, but the company hasn&#8217;t come up with a smartphone panel of similar quality yet. LG provided the OLED panels for its\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/gadgets\/2017\/09\/lg-v30-hands-on-lgs-oled-displays-still-have-quality-issues\/\">LG V30<\/a>\u00a0as well as the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/gadgets\/2017\/10\/pixel-2-and-2-xl-review-the-best-android-phone-you-can-buy\/\">Google Pixel 2 XL<\/a>, and both suffer from graininess in low-light and uneven light levels featuring numerous hotspots.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Source:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/gadgets\/2018\/04\/apple-may-still-depend-on-samsung-for-oled-iphone-screens-as-lg-hits-snags\/\">https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/gadgets\/2018\/04\/apple-may-still-depend-on-samsung-for-oled-iphone-screens-as-lg-hits-snags\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple may be losing the fight to add another OLED display manufacturer ahead of the next iPhone production cycle.
