iPhone 17e is likely to feature similar OLED tech as iPhone 14- Details

Hindustan Times09-07-2025
In March, Apple launched its affordable smartphone, the iPhone 16e, which gained much popularity over the past few months. Now, Apple is reportedly working on the next-generation E series iPhone, which is slated to launch next year. Since it will be an affordable version, Apple may remove several premium features in comparison to the flagship iPhone 17 series to manage the pricing of the feature. A new report about the iPhone 17e suggests that it may feature a similar OLED display to the iPhone 16e, which uses the iPhone 14's display. Therefore, we can say that Apple may use old technology as a cost-cutting move. iPhone 17e could launch next year, but with very few upgrades.(Aishwarya Panda-HT)

According to The Elec report, the iPhone 17e could launch next year with the same OLED panel as the iPhone 14 model to manage the lower pricing of the smartphone. A similar display was also used for iPhone 16e. As of now, the iPhone 16e model features a 6.1-inch OLED display with Face ID, which works quite well considering the price. Additionally, the smartphone also powers the latest A18 chip, offering all the latest features and AI support.

The report also highlighted that BOE and Samsung will supply the OLED display panel. Additionally, LG Display could also take a big part in the display production. Earlier, we came across a report that Apple has already commenced trial productions for iPhone 17e. However, the launch is not expected until 2026. As far as launch is concerned, several reports have highlighted a Q1 launch, but some have also hinted towards a May launch. Apart from this, rumours surrounding the affordable iPhone are quite slim, and we may have to wait a couple of months to get a greater idea about the launch.

Currently, Apple is preparing to launch the flagship iPhone 17 series, including the new iPhone 17 Air model, which is slated to debut in September 2025. We are still awaiting the launch date, but leaks surrounding the upcoming devices have been spreading rapidly. Therefore, the iPhone 17 series launch may give a greater idea of what the upcoming iPhone 17e model will be capable of doing, irrespective of the design, single-lens camera, and other cost-cutting features.

iPhones to get banned in US for using Chinese displays? Here is what Apple is saying

Amid rising tensions between display makers, a recent case in the United States has raised concerns over whether iPhones using Chinese-made screens could face trouble in the US market. But Apple has stepped forward to clarify that its products are not part of the dispute and will not be impacted in any comes after the US International Trade Commission (ITC) gave a preliminary ruling in a case involving Chinese display manufacturer BOE. The company, which has been supplying OLED panels for iPhones since 2021, has been accused of using Samsung's trade secrets related to display technology. The ITC has reportedly found merit in Samsung's complaint and has proposed restrictions on to the ITC, BOE and its associated firms violated US trade rules by importing or planning to sell OLED display parts in the US that were allegedly based on confidential Samsung tech. The Commission has suggested banning BOE from shipping these panels to the US and also stopping them from selling any leftover stock within the country. Given that BOE is one of the suppliers of Apple's iPhones (alongside Samsung and LG), some reports suggest this could affect Apple's recent and upcoming models, including the iPhone 15, iPhone 16, and possibly even the iPhone 17. However, Apple has issued a clear statement dismissing any such link.'Apple is not a party to this case, and the order has no impact on any Apple products,' the company informed 9To5Mac, addressing speculation that the ITC order could lead to a ban on certain is also important to note that the ruling is not final yet. The ITC's decision is currently at a preliminary stage, and a final verdict is expected later in the year. Once that happens, the US President will have a 60-day window to either approve or reject the reports suggest that BOE has been approved by Apple to supply LTPO OLED panels for Chinese versions of the iPhone 17 Pro series. But these displays reportedly didn't meet Apple's standards for a global rollout. If any changes happen in Apple's supplier strategy going forward, they're likely to be business decisions based on product performance and not because of this legal case.- Ends

TSMC posts 60% jump in quarterly profit, handily beats market forecast

TSMC, the world's main producer of advanced AI chips, posted a 60 per cent jump in second-quarter profit to record levels that handily beat market forecasts on Thursday, though US tariffs and a strong Taiwan dollar could weigh on its outlook. Benefiting from surging demand for advanced chips used in artificial intelligence applications, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co said net profit for April-June climbed to T$398.3 billion ($13.53 billion), its fifth straight quarter of double-digit growth. That was well ahead of a T$377.9 billion LSEG SmartEstimate drawn from 20 analysts. Trump's trade policies and threats to put tariffs on semiconductors have created much uncertainty for the global chip industry and TSMC, whose customers include Apple and Nvidia. TSMC announced plans for a $100 billion US investment with Trump at the White House in March, on top of $65 billion pledged for three plants in the state of Arizona, one of which is up and running. Taiwan-listed shares in TSMC surged some 80 per cent last year but have climbed just 5 per cent for the year to date on worries about tariffs and unfavourable currency exchange rates.
