Samsung Display has received additional OLED panel orders from Apple for the upcoming iPhone 15 series after Chinese firm BOE failed Apple's quality tests. BOE's OLED panels have previously failed to meet Apple's strict standards, leading to increased reliance on Samsung Display. As a result, Samsung Display is now the sole supplier of OLED panels for all four iPhone 15 models. The iPhone 15 series is expected to feature USB Type-C ports, improved cameras, and larger batteries, and will be unveiled during an upcoming press event.

Apple is considering the use of micro-lens technology in the OLED panels of the iPhone 16 models to increase brightness and reduce power consumption. The technology, offered by Apple display suppliers Samsung and LG, uses a pattern of lenses inside the panel to reduce internal reflections and redirect light towards the screen. While this can increase perceived brightness and maintain power consumption, it may also narrow the display's field of view. The decision depends on the efficiency of the OLED material set and whether it can meet Apple's standards.
