Apple Readies iPhone 18 Pro LTPO+ Displays for 6.3- and 6.9-Inch Models

3 articles · Updated · Forbes · Jun 6

Summary

  • September-bound iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max are expected to adopt LTPO+ OLED panels, a display upgrade aimed at improving battery efficiency over current LTPO screens.
  • LTPO+ extends oxide materials to driving transistors as well as switching transistors, enabling finer current control and more adaptive refresh and light output.
  • That tighter control could reduce low-light flicker and grain, improving screen behavior in dim conditions and potentially making the always-on display perform more smoothly.
  • Screen sizes are still expected to stay at 6.3 inches and 6.9 inches, suggesting Apple is focusing this cycle on panel efficiency and display quality rather than a size redesign.
