LG is set to supply up to 6.5 million displays per year for Apple's next generation OLED iPad Pro, according to a report from yeux1122 on Naver.

The company has purportedly negotiated a larger share of orders than rival Samsung. It will begin mass production in February 2024 and is expected to produce 6.2 - 6.5 million units per year.

-----
- Negotiated with new leadership Apple

- Supply of 6.2 million to up to 6.5 million units per year starting from mass production volume in February 2024 (major advance payment issues with Apple resolved to some extent)

- In particular, in the two-stack tandem structure that is being applied for the first time, the company is ahead of the Samsung camp in terms of supply of organic materials devices, etc.

Notably, the report claims that Samsung has been working to build a new supply for production of the panel, but has encountered quite a few "power heat generation process yield issues". Most issues have allegedly been dealt with and Samsung is expected to supply up to 4 million display units to Apple.

The new OLED iPad Pro models are expected to get slightly larger 11-inch and 13-inch display sizes. Codenames for the Wi-Fi and cellular models are J717, J718, J720 and J721. They are also expected to feature Apple's latest M3 processor.
