The majority of the iPhone 16 family's screens are reportedly in production, but the manufacturers of the iPhone 16 Pro Max's screens have not yet received approval.
The fact that iPhone 16 screens are already being manufactured is not shocking. Screens for the family of devices are produced by LG Display and Samsung, Apple's regular partners.
According to reports, BOE has also been added to the non-Pro lineup.
However, a report published by The Elec on Tuesday morning claims that Apple has not yet approved the screens for the iPhone 16 Pro Max. If the report is true, Apple's larger-format Pro Phone will receive this approval a little later than is customary.
According to the report, approval is anticipated for LG in mid-June and Samsung by the end of May. BOE is not anticipated to be involved in the production of the iPhone 16 Pro screen in any way.
Who made the screens of this phone?
Smartphone OLED screens are made by cutting a larger sheet and attaching it to the display electronics. The reason behind the production line's current success for the iPhone 16 Pro but not for the iPhone 16 Pro Max, which was essentially a bigger version of the former, is unclear.
There have not been any rumors that the iPhone 16 Pro Max will have an OLED dual-layer, similar to the iPad Pro.
What do the rumors say about these two phones
There are rumors that both of the lineup's pro phones will get larger. There will be a 6.27-inch (159.31 mm) display on the iPhone 16 Pro. The dimensions of the iPhone 16 Pro Max are 6.85 inches (174.06 mm). There are rumors of thinner bezels as well.
Additionally, a peak HDR brightness of 1,600 nits and a typical maximum brightness of 1,200 nits are anticipated for the iPhone 16 Pro series.
Taken at face value, the rumor suggests that the maximum brightness of the iPhone 15 Pro will be 200 nits higher than usual. Peak HDR content would be 1,600 nits, which is comparable to the current Pro models.
The Elec typically offers accurate information and has respectable connections within Apple's supply chain. When it comes to translating those data into specific timelines for Apple's plans, it is less precise. Regarding approval, Tuesday's report is most likely accurate; however, it is unclear whether traditional delivery times will be impacted, contrary to what the initial report claims.
