The iPhone 17 series is expected to be launched next month, but the report expected of the company’s iPhone model coming in the coming years has already surfaced online. Apple is allegedly discovering the use of the leading OLED technology for future iPhone models. This display technique, which was first introduced with iPad Prom (2024), has two stacked OLED layers. The iPhone manufacturer is called in discussion about the production of Tendam OLED display with LG display and Samsung display. Apple currently uses OLED technology with single active light emitting layer in its recent iPhone model.
Apple plans to bring Tandem OLED technology from iPad to iPhone
A report in ELEC (in Korean) states that Apple is evaluating Use of Aajrankram OLED technology for future iPhone models. Citing industry sources, publication claims that LG Display proposed a simplified version of Tandem OLEDS for Apple in 2024. Subsequently, Apple also approached Samsung Display for information about the same technique.
Given that Apple usually follows a two -year development and production cycle, reports show that the iphone units are unlikely to be until 2028 from the implementation of OLED panels.
Apple launched the iPad Pro (2024) with a leading OLED screen last year. This technique involves stacking two or more light emitting layers to enhance shine and reduce electricity use. This configuration improves glossy efficiency, allowing the devices to produce more light with low energy, which can help expand the battery life without increasing the size of the battery.
The current iPhone models use a single-stack OLED approach, where red (r), green (g), and blue (b) subpixels are placed in a single layer. Apple is allegedly considering the “simplified tendem” design for future iPhone models. In this setup, only blue (b) subpixels will be double-defined, while red and green live in the same layer. This simplified pirate approach can reduce production costs by offering better glow and better power efficiency than current OLED panels.
As mentioned, the M4-operated iPad Pro model unveiled during the late loose event of Apple in May last year, which began with an ultra retinal XDR display, also known as the Tendom OLED panel. This first equipped both 11 inch and 13-inch versions with OLED screen.
