Many big companies have suffered a lot due to chip shortage. Apple is also facing a lot of problem. In new revelations, it has been learned that the production of iPhone will be affected this month and next month.

New Delhi. BOE is one of the leading display panel manufacturers and the company is looking to increase its shipments to Apple for the iPhone. But it appears that the company is facing problems to reach the target. According to a report by The Elec, BOE is facing problems in manufacturing OLED panels to be used in iPhones due to global chip shortages. It further states that the products will be affected this month and next month.

there may be shorts

That is, there may be a shortage of iPhone in the coming month. LG Semicon, which has been providing display driver ICs for Apple iPhone screens to BOE, is falling short of target and due to lack of production capacity from the foundry, the company has been supplying display driver ICs to LG Display before BOE. Is. 

Fewer units will come in the market

This means that BOE will reduce the OLED panel production capacity from 3 million units to 2 million units next month. Apple has reportedly placed an order for 10 million OLED panel units from BOE for the first half of 2022. At this time, it is not known whether display production issues will affect production or supply of Apple iPhones, but it seems quite unlikely that Apple is not dependent on a single supplier.

BOE is ramping up its production for flexible smartphone OLED panels and converting three of its existing factories to Apple’s OLED suppliers. With this move, the company can overtake LG Display by 2023 and become the second largest supplier in the list of companies providing OLED panels for iPhone.
