The Chinese manufacturer BOE is on the other end of the spectrum and has the capacity to build in big quantities, but Apple has only allowed the purchase of its iPhone 14 series, with no Pro in sight. Samsung's market share is equal to what it was for the iPhone 13 series, when it provided 83% of all screens, according to reports.

1.8 million shipments from display factories to assembly facilities were made in June, 5.35 million in July, over 10 million in August, and over 16.5 million in September, according to detailed statistics given by Young. According to this, Apple anticipates selling at least 34 million iPhone 14 models in the first three months following the device's introduction.

On September 7, Apple is rumoured to introduce its first notch-free iPhone model. The tech behemoth will also introduce the Apple Watch Series 8, Apple AirPods Pro, and a number of other devices.
