The iPhone 17 will get Samsung’s best OLED displays in the entire lineup
By ForGeeks It looks like the design of the iPhone 17 series is almost finalized, and Apple is moving into the production phase. While the launch of the iPhone 16 may have seemed underwhelming, Apple is reportedly working hard to make the iPhone 17 the best of the best.
The iPhone 17 is the best of the best.
Revolutionary displays for all models
All four iPhone 17 models – Base, Air, Pro and Pro Max – will feature Samsung’s latest OLED displays. Although LG Display has also supplied a significant number of panels for the iPhone in the past, Apple has apparently requested a lot more panels from Samsung this time around.
Benefits of the M14 panel
The M14 panel from Samsung Display is not only attractive in appearance, but also incredibly bright. These displays can reach 3000 nits of brightness, which would be the first such figure for the iPhone. However, it’s unlikely that the iPhone 17 will be that bright, as this panel has already been used in the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max, which didn’t reach that brightness.

Unifying the visual experience
The most interesting news is that even the base iPhone 17 is expected to get this display. This means that Apple is paying a lot of attention to the visual aspect of its upcoming flagships: both the screen and the design around it.
ProMotion for everyone
One of the major disappointments of the iPhone 16 was that it still had a 60Hz refresh rate display. Recent reports indicate that may finally be changing. Apple is introducing ProMotion technology in the base models of the iPhone 17 later this year.In simple terms, this means that all iPhone models will finally get a 120Hz refresh rate.

Strategic lineup changes
The introduction of ProMotion in non-professional models in addition to Samsung’s M14 panel suggests that Apple is aiming for a more consistent visual experience across the iPhone 17 lineup. This could also be due to the fact that the Plus model is being replaced by the iPhone 17 Air. The Air is an expensive model and leaves the base iPhone 17 a unique model with no peer: the Plus was essentially a larger version of the base iPhone.
Another reason for this is that the Plus was a larger version of the base iPhone.
There’s no word yet on whether BOE will get a chance to supply display panels for the iPhone 17 lineup. The screen updates and design changes would give the iPhone a much-needed refresh in a long line of very similar-looking phones.
