It is revealed that Samsung will start mass production of iPhone 16 OLED in the first half of the year and the lower bezel will be narrower

[CNMO Technology News] CNMO learned from Korean media that before the release of Apple’s iPhone 16 series in the second half of this year, the panel industry is in a busy state. However, the OLED panel output and mass production period of the iPhone 16 series are expected to be determined soon. The common view in the industry is that Samsung Display will begin mass production of iPhone 16 OLED in the first half of this year. In contrast, people have different opinions on the mass production time of LG displays.

Samsung and LG strengthen Apple business

1. Given that this year is the year of the release of the first OLED iPad and the mass production of iPhone 16 OLED, the Apple business performance of two Korean panel companies, Samsung Display and LG Display, has attracted much attention.
2. Following LG Display at the end of last year, Samsung Display also established an organization at the beginning of this month to strengthen Apple’s business.

iPhone 16 series OLED

3. Industry insiders recently said that Samsung Display and LG Display are preparing to start mass production of iPhone 16 series OLED in the first half of the year. Currently, the two panel companies are in the final stages of obtaining Apple's approval for mass production.
4. The only difference between the iPhone 16 series OLED and the previous iPhone 15 series is that both iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max models use “thin bottom bezels”. Both iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max models use BRS (Bezel Reduction Structure) technology to narrow the bottom bezel. In order to make the bezel narrower, the circuitry under the bezel must be placed more closely, and some wiring must be bent downward, which increases the technical difficulty.

In addition, BOE will mainly supply OLEDs for the low-end iPhone SE released next year, but other panel companies may also supply OLEDs for iPhone SE sold in other regions.
