The next iPhone SE is getting an OLED display, and one of the key suppliers will be LG.

In addition to a better display the SE 4 is expected to get a significant processor and camera upgrade.

We’re expecting theiPhoneSE 4 to look very much like the iPhone 14 above, and it’s likely to have a very similar display: theiPhone SE 4 is reportedly getting a 6.06-inch OLED display, the first time that OLEDs have made it into Apple’s SE range. And now a new report says that those panels could be coming from a very familiar name in OLEDs: LG.

The report comes from trade siteThe Elec, which says that LG will be one of two suppliers for the edge-to-edge OLED panel alongside BOE. BOE is a key supplier of displays for the iPhone 15 and is lined up for the iPhone 16 too.

Apple’s use of BOE is part of its move to depend less onSamsungDisplay, which is the usual display partner alongside LG. Samsung and BOE have reportedly had production issues and Apple, as ever, is keen not to be vulnerable to third parties' problems. As a result it’s following its usual policy of spreading production across multiple companies.

iPhone SE 4: what to expect

In addition to that larger display, which makes the currentiPhone SE (2022)the last of the small iPhones, the next generation iPhone SE is tipped for an A18 processor and between 6 and 8GB of RAM. The camera is believed to be a single 48MP camera.

That processor upgrade is interesting, because the A18 is the same chip that’s destined for the iPhone 16; it represents a significant step up from the current SE’s A15 Bionic chip and it would mean leapfrogging the A16 in the iPhone 15 too. The reason for that is likely to beApple Intelligence, which Apple says is so demanding that many iPhones aren’t up to the task of running it: if your iPhone is older than the iPhone 15, it’s not currently destined to get Apple Intelligence iniOS18.
