iPhone 16 Pro / Max ultra-narrow bezel technology encounters mass production challenges, LG and Samsung’s current yield rates do not meet Apple’s expectations

According to reports from Korean media The Elec on April 5, Apple is working with LG Display and Samsung Display to promote bezel reduction structure (BRS) technology to further narrow the borders of the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max models.

It is reported that mass production of BRS technology is extremely difficult. At present, the production yield rate of two suppliers, LG and Samsung, has not yet reached Apple’s standards. The translated part of the report is as follows: ## The #iPhone 16 series OLED screen uses Border Reduction Structure (BRS) technology to further narrow the chin border.

In order to narrow the frame, the circuits under the frame must be placed more closely, and some lines must be bent downward, which increases the technical difficulty. At this stage, no company can meet Apple’s expected production yield to provide OLED screens for the new iPhone OLED. In this year’s iPhone 16 series, Samsung Display is expected to offer all four OLED variants. LG Display is also expected to supply OLED in two top product lines such as Pro and Pro Max, while BOE is expected to supply OLED in two product lines such as Standard and Plus. Related reading:
