iPhone 18 Pro Set to Feature LTPO+ Display Technology for Enhanced Efficiency and Performance The iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max are expected to retain their current screen sizes of 6.3 inches and 6.9 inches, respectively, but the devices will reportedly incorporate a significant display upgrade. According to a report from The Elec, Apple is transitioning to LTPO+ technology for the OLED panels in the iPhone 18 Pro line. This shift marks a departure from the standard LTPO used in the iPhone 17 Pro models, offering two key advantages: improved power efficiency and enhanced Always-On Display functionality. The report indicates that Samsung and LG will be the primary manufacturers for the iPhone 18 Pro OLED panels, with BOE excluded from the production process. Industry sources cited BOE’s lower-temperature polycrystalline oxide-plus (LTPO+) technology capabilities as a critical factor in its inability to secure Apple’s approval for the 2025 flagship models. While BOE played a major role in supplying panels for the iPhone 17 Pro, its shortcomings in panel quality and manufacturing yield compared to Samsung and LG reportedly led to its exclusion. This marks a setback for BOE, which had previously been a key supplier for Apple’s previous-generation Pro models. LTPO+ technology represents an evolution of the existing LTPO (Low-Temperature Polycrystalline Oxide) standard, which underpins Apple’s Always-On Display feature. Conventional LTPO applies oxide materials to switching thin-film transistors (TFTs) to enable dynamic refresh rate adjustments. LTPO+ extends this technology by incorporating oxide materials into driving TFTs as well, allowing for finer control over OLED light emission.#samsung #iphone_pro_max #iphone_18_pro #lg #the_elec
