Samsung has long led the OLED market, and was initially the only supplier with the capacity to meet Apple demands.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s no sign yet that BOE has received certification from Apple, or even sent samples. <\/p>\n<p>At the same time it would make sense for Apple to adopt a third supplier if BOE can meet quality standards. The high prices of the iPhone XS and XS Max can be blamed squarely on OLED technology, which is much costlier than LCD in no small part because of the rarity of manufacturers. OLED enables starker contrast with lower power consumption.<\/p>\n<p>Like BOE, Samsung is working on embedding touch within OLED screens and hoping to use in this in iPhones, the <em>Herald<\/em> claimed. That could potentially make them even thinner and lighter.<\/p>\n<p>What might put a damper on BOE&#8217;s ambitions is poor iPhone sales, <a href=\"https:\/\/appleinsider.com\/articles\/19\/01\/29\/apple-earns-843b-in-revenue-as-iphone-earnings-declined-15-percent-in-2018-holiday-quarter\">a problem since the December quarter<\/a>.
