iPhone 18 Pro Models Gain LTPO+ Displays in 6.3- and 6.9-Inch Sizes

3 articles · Updated · 9to5Mac · Jun 4

Summary

  • LTPO+ OLED panels are expected on the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max, while both models keep the same 6.3-inch and 6.9-inch screen sizes as their predecessors.
  • LTPO+ extends oxide materials to driving TFTs as well as switching TFTs, enabling finer OLED current control that should improve power efficiency, battery life and Always-On display performance.
  • Low-light use is also expected to improve, with faster display adjustments that could reduce flicker or a grainy appearance.
  • Samsung and LG are expected to supply nearly all of the panels after BOE reportedly failed to meet Apple's LTPO+ quality standards, despite being a key partner on iPhone 17 Pro displays.
