Previous iPhone SE models
The iPhone SE 4 has reportedly been delayed by another year, over continuing concerns about OLED quality from a new Apple supplier.
According to the publication, researcher Dae-Jeong Yoon at the OLED & Micro Display Analyst Seminar in Seoul, said new Apple supplier BOE is facing performance and supply problems.
“There’s a lot of time left until the launch of the iPhone SE4, so the situation remains to be seen,” he continued.
The situation appears to be that BOE was focusing on mass-producing OLED panels for the iPhone 15, but it may not achieve that. “Depending on the situation, there is a possibility that BOE’s iPhone 15 OLED volume will only be zero this year,” said Yoon.
BOE is reportedly developing a low-temperature polycrystalline silicon (LTPS) thin-film transistor (TFT) type of OLED screen for the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus. For the iPhone SE 4, a lower-cost OLED panel is being developed.
