AAPL

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) is reportedly planning to incorporate OLED screens into its iPads and MacBooks, starting with iPads next year and an OLED MacBook by the second half of 2025. This move is expected to significantly impact the $150 billion display industry, benefiting OLED manufacturers like Samsung Display, LG Display, and BOE Technology Holding, while potentially threatening companies with limited OLED presence such as JDI, Sharp, AUO, and Innolux. Apple's shift to OLED could be a strategy to counteract declining sales in its Mac and iPad segments.
