LCD screens on iPhones may soon be gone as many manufacturers switched to OLED screens. On the other hand, Apple has held on to LCD technology for a long time, especially in its more affordable models. However, a recent report from Nikkei Asia indicates that this could change with the upcoming iPhone SE 4, which is rumored to feature an OLED display.
OLED technology offers several advantages over LCD, including better contrast, more vibrant colors, and improved overall display quality. These benefits explain why OLED has become the preferred choice for most new smartphones.
Various leaks over time have hinted at the shift to OLED in the iPhone SE 4, but this latest report is adding validity to those claims. Rumor has it that Apple has started ordering OLED panels for the device, signaling that the launch could be on the horizon—though likely not until 2025. This timeline is based on the production schedules; since panel orders are just starting, a release in the next few months is improbable.
There’s still some uncertainty around the exact launch date. While 2025 has been mentioned frequently, there have been whispers of a potential delay until 2026. Despite the uncertainty, the anticipated upgrade to OLED in the iPhone SE 4 is a promising development, signaling a significant improvement in screen technology for Apple’s more budget-friendly iPhone lineup.
