LG's association with Apple is not new. The company has also contributed in making display panels for iPhone 12 models. The South Korean forum recently reported its highest quarterly profit in almost three years due to the increased shipments of Apple's new iPhones.

It posted an operating profit of around $622 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. Analysts reported an increase in shipments of OLED panels for Apple's iPhone 12 and higher prices of LCD panels.

It has been said that Apple's iPhone shipments for Q4 were likely up by 21% on-year due to a strong performance of the iPhone 12. And the stronger sales should spill over into LG Displays first quarter results as well.

Earlier this year we also saw LG making strides in the display segment by introducing its own smartphone with rollable OLED display. In the past, it has showcased rollable TVs as well.
