Your iPhone 14 is most likely to feature a Samsung-made display, your stock falls into the little share that LG and BOE have got. Is that a good thing or bad? We have no idea but iPhones of the past have mostly relied on Samsung for the OLED displays. And the iPhone displays have always been found to be nicely calibrated for colours. Based on a new report, it is said that Samsung display will supply the majority of display panels for the iPhone 14 series, followed by LG Display and BOE.

Based on information from Ross Young of Display Supply Chain Consultants (DSCC), it is said that Apple has procured 82 percent of display panels from Samsung, 12 percent panel from LG Display and the other 6 percent from the Chinese BOE. Hence, most of the iPhone 14 series units in the initial batches may end up with a Samsung Display made OLED panel. The iPhone 14 Pro Max is only said to come with Samsung display panels in the initial few batches.

iPhone 14 series to rely on Samsung display

The display is where the iPhone 14 series is expected to bring in some mega upgrades this year. The vanilla iPhone 14 and the new iPhone 14 Max are expected to feature the same kind of display as the iPhone 13 series. However, rumours suggest the presence of a slightly faster 90Hz refresh rate this time on the standard models. The iPhone 14 could have a 6.1-inch OLED display whereas the iPhone 14 Max will have a 6.7-inch display. Both these displays are expected to feature the infamous notch.

On the other hand, the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max will have the biggest iPhone display upgrade in years – the removal of the notch. Yes, based on the rumours, it is said that the iPhone 14 Pro models will feature new cutouts for the front camera and the Face ID sensors. Hence, the cutout is more likely to resemble an exclamation mark instead of a small cutout. The cutouts will liberate some space but it is not yet known how Apple is going to utilise it.

Additionally, the iPhone 14 Pro will gain a new LTPO 2.0 OLED display with a variable refresh rate of 1Hz-120Hz. This should also help Apple in bringing an Always On Display feature.
