Apple’s iPhone 18<\/a> will feature a significantly brighter display, according to a Chinese leaker.<\/p>\n

\"iphone
In a new post on Weibo, the user known as “Instant Digital” said that Chinese supplier BOE has little hope of making panels for the \u200ciPhone 18\u200c because Apple’s brightness requirements for the next-generation device are unprecedentedly high. This suggests that the \u200ciPhone 18\u200c’s display will see a considerable leap forward in terms of brightness.<\/p>\n

The iPhone<\/a> 13 and \u200ciPhone\u200c 14 offered a typical maximum brightness of 800 nits, with peak HDR brightness of 1,200 nits. With the \u200ciPhone\u200c 15, iPhone 16<\/a>, and iPhone 17<\/a> Apple increased this to 1,000 nits typical maximum brightness and 1,600 nits peak HDR brightness. The \u200ciPhone 17\u200c also saw a notable increase from 2,000 nits of outdoor peak brightness to 3,000 nits. <\/p>\n

Earlier today, Korea’s The Elec reported<\/a> that BOE is again struggling with \u200ciPhone\u200c OLED production, causing millions of panel orders to be shifted to Samsung Display.<\/p>\n

The \u200ciPhone 18\u200c is expected to launch in early 2027, featuring the A20 chip, the C2 modem, and a simpler Camera Control.<\/p>\n
