LG stopped supplying iPhone LCD panels to Apple: focus on OLED


Although the main iPhone models have all used OLED panels, the iPhone SE2, iPhone 11, and iPhone XR are still LCD screens.

However, the latest news says that LG Display has stopped supplying the LCD panels used in the iPhone to Apple. LG Display’s AP3 production line in Gumi City has been diverted to other uses.

It is said that LG's decision is mainly due to the thin profits of these LCD panels and the low demand level. Although LG has withdrawn, Japan's JDI and Sharp will continue to supply LCD screens for the iPhone.

Insiders broke the news that LG tried to break into the iPhone SE 2's screen supply chain, but ended in failure. Perhaps this also discouraged its enthusiasm. Although Apple never releases information on iPhone screen suppliers, LG has a reputation for its past quality of LCD panels.

In addition, as far as current information is concerned, LG is seeking OLED orders for the iPhone 13, but it still misses the Pro series, because only Samsung can provide LTPO products that support 120Hz.
