Apple has been taking news spots recently for a new device that it might be working on. I am talking about the iPhone SE 4. We’ve been hearing for a couple of months now that Apple could finally release this iPhone variant soon. But as always, the same production is going through some hurdles. So what is the issue, this time? Word on the grapevine is that Samsung has denied making displays for the iPhone SE 4, according to supply chain rumours. Read along for more details.
So, as you guys must be aware, Apple can release the iPhone SE 4 soon with major upgrades. For displays, Samsung was the preferred choice but the two parties couldn’t agree on the price. Now, this could delay the production process. But Apple is possibly looking for other suppliers. China’s BOE could be the go-to.

Rumours suggest that Apple was planning to use the same display tech previously used for the iPhone 13. This makes sense because it helps keep costs down. Samsung, BOE, and Tianma were all trying to get a contract for making these displays.
But now, according to a report by IT Home, since Samsung and Apple couldn’t see eye-to-eye on the price, the former backed out. BOE might have used this opportunity to get the deal going.
The report suggests that Samsung said that Apple thought that their $30-per-display offer was a bit too steep. Apple was looking to get the displays for displays at $25 each. Both Samsung and Tianma couldn’t agree on this price, making BOE the sole supplier choice.

Let’s see how Apple jumps over this hurdle. For now, the excitement amongst Apple fans knows no bounds. People have been anticipating and guessing what Apple might end up doing. Rumours suggest that Apple is planning to ditch the Home button and give the phone a more modern look with a full-screen display.
