BOE: Apple’s New Display Powerhouse
Big news from the East! The Chinese screen maker BOE has just taken the reins as Apple’s top display panel supplier. Talk about a big leap—from just 39% of Apple’s orders last year to a staggering 51% this time around.
What’s Driving the Surge?
- MacBook Air Magic – Apple’s new 15.3‑inch and 13.6‑inch Air models need more high‑resolution screens, and BOE’s tech can deliver.
- Massive Shipments – Nearly 11.5 million panels are slated to hit the Apple supply chain this year.
- First‑Time Overhalf Coverage – BOE will, for the very first time, supply more than half of all MacBook panel orders.
Why Apple’s Choosing BOE
Picture Apple’s production line: a cascade of sleek, bright displays that make your video calls look like a private cinema. With BOE’s cutting‑edge tech, that vision becomes reality. Apple’s engineers love a partner who can keep up with their fast‑paced innovation—and BOE’s delivering just that.
Feel the Change
Every time you pack up your MacBook for a trip, remember this: the proud, sunlit screen on your device is probably courtesy of BOE’s hardworking team. It’s like having an unseen hero creating the perfect backdrop for your workday.
Apple’s 2025 Display Order: Who’s Snagging the Big Slice?
Apple is gearing up to whip up 22.5 million display components next year—an almost 1 % jump from 2024. It’s a quiet but steady display of ambition, and the numbers read a bit like a Disney sequel: the plot is familiar, but the twist is somewhere in the market competition.
Who’s Giving the Glare?
- LG Display—our long‑time MacBook sidekick—is still in the mix, but it’s only handling 8.4 million components, which works out to about 35 % of the order.
- BOE looks poised to dominate the leaderboard, at least until Apple decides to take the fancy OLED route. It’s a classic “if you love it, keep it” situation.
What this Means for the MacBook Fans
For those of us who cherish a crisp, vibrant screen, this could mean a translation of more polished, possibly RGB‑rich displays in the notebooks. LG’s portion suggests it’ll keep a steady hand—no surprise that they’ve already built a bridge to the Mac series. BOE’s near‑full‑play, however, hints at a number of fresh eyes (and perhaps fresh feelings) entering the scene.
Quick Takeaway
- Apple wants 22.5 million displays—slightly more than before.
- LG sticks to 8.4 million—roughly a third.
- BOE is ready to sweep the charts—unless Apple flips the switch to OLED.
Bottom line? Apple’s looking to keep its screens sharp and its partners varied—so no one gets left out in the cold at the dawn of 2025.
