According to the Nikkei News, Apple is in the final stage of demonstrating that BOE's OLED screen can be used on future iPhones, while Apple is actively testing BOE's flexible screen, which increases the possibility for Apple to purchase BOE screens. If the news is true, it will be the first time Apple has purchased such screens from a Chinese manufacturer.
It is reported that Apple will decide before the end of this year whether to let BOE become the supplier of iPhone OLED screens in 2020 to reduce its dependence on Samsung. According to a source "familiar with the relevant discussions", the price of BOE's screen may be 20% cheaper than Samsung's.
In recent years, there have been rumors that Apple hopes to diversify its suppliers in the field of iPhone OLED screens. Now Samsung is the main supplier. Even if Samsung mobile phones are not considered as direct competitors of iPhone, this is not a good phenomenon for Apple.
Since last year, rumors about the cooperation between Apple and BOE have been emerging, and many people hope that this rumor will come true. In March this year, BOE expressed its intention to supply products to Apple. It should be noted that Japan imposed export restrictions on South Korea last month, which may affect Samsung's production of screens, so the situation seems to be favorable for BOE.
