Sources say that all Apple iPhone 17 series use LTPO variable refresh rate screens

According to news on February 28, Korean media The Elec recently stated that all four models of the iPhone 17 series will be equipped with LTPO variable refresh rate screens.

Starting from the iPhone 13 series released in 2021, Apple has chosen to install LTPO variable refresh rate screens on the two higher-end Pro series models, while on the two standard iPhone models Continue to use the traditional LTPS screen. Apple is said to maintain this strategy with the iPhone 16 series, which will be released in the second half of this year. Foreign media stated that BOE is supplying LTPO screens to many Chinese manufacturers, including Huawei, but has not yet reached a supply agreement with Apple (note: BOE’s flexible OLED shipments in 2023 will be nearly 120 million pieces). According to reports, BOE provided LTPO iPhone OLED samples to Apple at the end of last year, and the industry expects it to supply LTPO OLED screens to Apple as early as the iPhone 17 series. The Elec said that there have been some recent voices suggesting that Apple may retain at least one LTPS model in next year’s iPhone 17 series due to insufficient BOE’s LTPO technology. And an industry insider said that "since last year's iPhone 15 and this year's iPhone 16 series products have very little changes, the iPhone 17 series should seek differences by applying LTPO to lower product lines" and predicted that "if BOE's LTPO technology is insufficient, and Apple will apply LTPO to all four iPhone 17 series phones without BOE." After using LTPO screens, the standard version of the iPhone 17 series is expected to support ProMotion and always-on display functions. Foreign media said that Apple will promote the OLED supply of entry-level iPhone SE4 and traditional models to be supplied by BOE. Even if BOE does not receive orders for LTPO models, orders for iPhone SE4 and traditional models will increase the company's overall iPhone OLED shipments. The iPhone SE4 may reuse the 6.1-inch iPhone 14 OLED screen from 2022.
