iPhone 13 Pro launch on time as Samsung reportedly begins production of 120Hz LTPO display

Apple may launch the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max with 120Hz ProMotion Display, which Samsung has reportedly begun making.

iPhone 13 series launch may happen on time this year. After a report earlier said that Apple’s chip partner TSMC has begun making A15 processors, the latest one has suggested that displays for the next-generation iPhone models have already gone into production. According to South Korea’s The Elec, Samsung Display and LG Display have also begun manufacturing the displays. However, Samsung Display is going to be the only supplier of LTPO displays for the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max that will have the 120Hz ProMotion technology. While both Samsung Display and LG Display will supply displays to Apple for this year’s iPhone, rumours have mostly pointed out that it is Samsung that has got the contract for making the advanced low-temperature polycrystalline oxide (LTPO) thin-film transistor (TFT) OLED panels, which are marginally better than the regular OLEDs. The LTPO display will reportedly feature the 120Hz adaptive refresh rate with Apple’s ProMotion technology, but it will be available only on the expensive iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max. Since last year, Apple’s iPhone series has spawned four models, out of which the ones with “Pro” in their names come with premium features, such as more cameras. LG Display, on the other hand, will be supplying Apple low-temperature polycrystalline silicon (LTPS) TFT OLED panels for the other two iPhone models, the iPhone 13 mini and the iPhone 13. These OLED panels will supposedly lack a high refresh rate, so you can expect the regular 60Hz on them. Apart from LG Display, BOE is also a supplier of LTPS OLED displays to Apple for this year’s iPhone 13, according to previous reports, but its status on production is not available at this point.
