Apple is not satisfied with the quality of OLED panels from the Chinese manufacturer BOE Technology Group, which will be installed on the iPhone 15. The BOE had trouble making oval holes for the Dynamic Island module. It is confirmed that in already manufactured copies there is a leakage of light along the edges of the notch.

It is reported by The Elec.

Therefore, Apple decided to redistribute the order in favor of Samsung. It begins production of OLED panels for the iPhone 15th from May 2023.

However, notes The Elec, a complete rupture of relations between Apple and the BOE did not happen. According to journalists, Apple may return to ordering the display for the iPhone 15 from the BOE, if it improves its quality.

Recall, iPhone 15 may be the first “apple” smartphone that will not have a Lightning connector, Apple plans to replace it with USB-C. At the same time, any USB Type-C cable to the iPhone 15 cannot be used.
