Samsung<\/a> filed an infringement case against Chinese display manufacturer BOE ages ago, and is now set to win after a recent ruling by the ITC (International Trade Commission). When the case concludes, the results will be a major blow to BOE, and will most likely negatively impact the pricing of the iPhone 17e.The ITC has ruled<\/a> (translated source) that BOE infringed on Samsung Display\u2019s trade secrets. Furthermore, new restrictions are currently set to be placed on BOE, which will prevent any products containing its display panels from being imported into the U.S.<\/p>\n

This will be problematic for Samsung\u2019s largest rival in the smartphone space: Apple. Apple has used BOE for its more affordable displays for years, particularly on budget offerings like the iPhone 16e<\/a>. The iPhone 17e was likely going to use BOE panels as well, but may no longer be allowed to do so. This will almost assuredly result in prices going up.<\/p>\n

Additionally, BOE had just scored a major win with Apple, having been entrusted with iPhone 17 display production<\/a> for the Chinese market. Until very recently, BOE had been failing to meet Apple\u2019s standards, and was set to lose out on iPhone 17<\/a> orders entirely.<\/p>\n

While the ITC\u2019s ruling shouldn\u2019t affect devices being made for Chinese consumers, it will make it much more difficult for BOE to conduct further business with Apple.<\/p>\n

Apple has been trying to shift entirely to using displays provided by BOE for years. The manufacturer was recently projected to have the majority share of MacBook displays<\/a> as well. Simply put, BOE provided displays at more affordable rates than Samsung Display and LG Display. As such, Apple saw it as a means to reduce manufacturing costs.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, there was always something going wrong with BOE\u2019s attempts. Either its displays wouldn\u2019t meet the standards for global implementation on the top-end iPhone models, or it would try to pull a fast one on Apple.<\/p>\n

This new development may be the final nail in the coffin for BOE for a very long time. It all depends on whether the company is able to catch up to its competitors quickly, hopefully by its own merit this time.<\/p>\n
