Recently, it was reported that LG Innotek and LG Display developed an under-display camera for Apple to achieve a full iPhone screen. Among them, LG Innotek has started to develop special freeform lenses to overcome the problem of insufficient light transmittance. At the same time, Apple also received UPC samples from related companies, but the evaluation performance was not ideal.
It is understood that the current use of yellow PI substrates may lead to reduced pixel density and obvious boundaries, while the use of transparent PI substrates will help improve the light transmittance of the UPC region and can achieve clearer **. In order to increase the light transmittance of the UPC, the two companies aim to increase the light transmittance of the UPC and plan to reach 20% in 2023 and 40% in 2024.
It is reported that the iPhone 16 Pro has the potential to be the biggest winner of this new technology, because it will use a full-screen design, higher screen resolution and more powerful photographic capabilities, and the processor and memory will be upgraded, support 5G network, and more powerful performance. The design is simple and atmospheric, with a streamlined fuselage, a full-screen design on the front, and an ultra-high screen-to-body ratio, which shows Apple's efforts in design.
Apple will adjust the out-of-warranty battery replacement fees for iPhone, MacBookAir and some iPad models from March 1, of which all iPhone models before iPhone 14, all MacBookAir models and some iPad models will increase the out-of-warranty battery replacement fees by 169 yuan to 480 yuan.
At present, the external charging cost of iPhone mobile phones will remain the same, and from March 1, other models of mobile phones other than iPhone 14 will add an additional battery service fee of 169 yuan, which undoubtedly increases the cost of use for consumers.
In this new stage of development, the development direction of the iPhone will undoubtedly focus more on innovation and practicality, which will also have a profound impact on the consumer experience. For Apple, the use of under-display camera technology to achieve a full screen can not only improve the appearance design of the product, but also improve the experience of the product.
In the future, the full-screen iPhone may become the new darling of the mobile phone market, and with the intensification of competition in the market, major mobile phone manufacturers will also accelerate the pace of technological innovation and launch more excellent products. We have reason to expect that with the continuous progress of technology, the mobile phone industry will usher in more innovation and change, bringing consumers a better experience.
It is worth mentioning that LG Display also plans to use transparent PI substrates instead of traditional polyimide substrates in UPC applications, which will undoubtedly also promote technological progress in the mobile phone industry. For consumers, this means that we will have more options to better meet our needs.
In general, the development of under-display camera technology and its application in iPhones will bring more changes and opportunities to the mobile phone industry. This is not only a reflection of the technological innovation of mobile phone manufacturers, but also reflects the demand of consumers for better products. We expect that with the continuous advancement of technology, the mobile phone industry will bring more surprises and changes to consumers.
