Rumors suggest that Apple will be equipping all iPhone 17 models with the Samsung M14 OLED panel, including the iPhone 17 Air. This move signifies a shift towards using top-tier display technology across all variants of the upcoming iPhones.
The M14 panel boasts a specialized light-emitting layer, along with various common and prime layers that enhance the performance of individual pixels in the OLED display. By leveraging different materials and compositions, the M14 panel delivers exceptional display quality.
iPhone 16 Pro MaxPreviously, Samsung supplied Apple with M14 panels for the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max, showcasing up to 30% higher brightness and increased lifespan compared to earlier generations. In contrast, non-Pro models utilized older technologies like the M12 panel from the iPhone 15.
While the adoption of the M14 panel is a significant upgrade, it does not guarantee that all iPhone 17 models will receive Pro features like ProMotion, which offers a 120 Hz refresh rate.
