Apple will take the production capacity of OLED panels for itself, the competition must look for other options

Without going into any major speculations, it is generally expected that this year Apple will introduce two phones with an OLED display. The first will be the successor to the current iPhone X, and the second should be the Plus model, with which Apple will target users of the so-called phablet segment. The two different models mean that the displays will be produced on two different lines and that the production of the panels will be twice as demanding as it was for the current model. Although it was written in the past that Samsung increased its production capacity and problematic availability should not occur, behind the scenes it is said that there will simply be no room for other manufacturers and those interested in OLED displays. So you have to make other arrangements.

According to the information so far, it seems that the problem will most affect the three largest Chinese manufacturers, i.e. Huawei, Oppo and Xiaomi. OLED panel manufacturers (in this case, Samsung and LG) simply won't have large enough production capacities to meet their demands for the production and supply of AMOLED displays. Samsung will logically prioritize production for Apple, from which huge sums of money flow to it, and then production for its own needs.

Other manufacturers are said to be unlucky and will either have to settle for another display manufacturer (with which, of course, a drop in quality is associated, as it is Samsung who stands at the top in this industry), or they will have to use other technologies - i.e. either a return to the classic IPS panels or completely new Micro-LED (or mini LED) screens. Apple is also currently working on this technology, but we don't know anything specific about its implementation in practice. The situation on the OLED panel market should not be helped too much by the entry of LG, which should also produce some OLED panels for Apple. In the past weeks, information appeared that Apple will take large displays from LG (for the new "iPhone X Plus") and classic ones from Samsung (for the successor to the iPhone X).
