Future iPhones May Get Thinner Screens Thanks to Novatek

Imagine holding a sleeker iPhone in your hands next year. That might be possible, thanks to a Taiwanese company called Novatek. They've just announced they will start making new OLED displays using a technology called TDDI, which could make future iPhones thinner. This news comes from DigiTimes and was shared by MacRumors. The new TDDI tech combines touch and display layers into one, so the devices can be made slimmer.

Apple is rumored to be Novatek's first customer for these displays, which are expected to start production in the second quarter of 2025. This timing aligns with next year's iPhone models, leading some to speculate about a potential 'iPhone 17 Air' or 'iPhone 17 Slim'. But remember, this is all based on rumors and industry speculation at this point. Even if Apple adopts the technology, it might not just be for iPhones. There are also talks about testing these new displays in future iPads and Apple Watch models. A rumored foldable iPhone or iPad could also benefit from thinner screens. But let's wait and see what Apple has planned for us next year!
