Apple may be planning to bring its advanced LTPO3 display technology, first seen in the Apple Watch Series 10, to future iPhone models, according to a report from The Elec.
LTPO3 improves power efficiency and display brightness, particularly at wider viewing angles, thanks to the addition of oxide-based thin-film transistors (TFT).
Currently, this technology allows the Apple Watch's display to refresh faster in always-on mode, showing more detail like a ticking seconds hand without wrist movement.
Industry sources suggest that Samsung Display is preparing LTPO3 OLED panels for future iPhones, though the iPhone 17 series is expected to continue using LTPO2 for now.
As with past display advancements, Apple often tests new tech in its watches before introducing it to iPhones, potentially signaling big improvements for future models.
