Apple will upgrade iPhone 18 Pro screens with new technology
Apple is set to adopt LTPO+ OLED screen technology for the iPhone 18 Pro series, improving battery life and low-light performance, while maintaining the same 6.3-inch and 6.9-inch screen sizes. Samsung and LG will supply the panels, as BOE reportedly failed to meet quality standards for the new LTPO+ technology.
Apple’s upcoming iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max models will retain their current 6.3-inch and 6.9-inch screen sizes but will introduce a significant behind-the-scenes upgrade. The company plans to switch to LTPO+ technology in the OLED displays, an evolution of its existing LTPO system that enables features like Always-On Display through dynamic refresh rate adjustments. Most panels for the new Pro models will be supplied by Samsung and LG, according to a recent report. BOE, which previously manufactured screens for the iPhone 17 Pro, reportedly failed to secure Apple’s approval for the new generation due to quality concerns with LTPO+ panels. The key difference between LTPO and LTPO+ lies in transistor management. LTPO+ extends the use of oxide materials to pixel driving mechanisms, allowing for more precise control over current flow and screen illumination. This change is expected to enhance energy efficiency, potentially extending battery life, and improve display adaptation in low-light conditions. Users may also notice reduced flickering or graininess in dark environments, though the exact impact remains to be confirmed. It is unclear whether the rumored iPhone Ultra model will adopt this new display technology. The upgrade focuses on performance rather than visible changes, positioning the iPhone 18 Pro series for better daily usability.
