Analysts: the iPhone 13 phones will feature LTPO AMOLED panels from Samsung Display

Posted: 23 Mar 2021 10:47 AM PDT

The Elec quotes UBI Research that Samsung Display's A3 factory line, which was dedicated to supplying Apple with LTPS OLED panels, will be converted to produce LTPO panels instead. LTPO was originally developed for the Apple Watch as it allows precise control of the frame rate (unlike LTPS) and uses less power to boot. The downside is that...
