Dammit, I don't want a bigger phone for "Pro" features. Still using the original X, so until that craps out I wouldn't upgrade anyway. Eventually I'll have to, just bummed every phone gets bigger and bigger if you want the latest tech. First world problems....

BOE = Beijing Orient Electronics = China
LG and Samsung = South Korea

First I've heard of the number of units "ordered" from the OLED manufacturers.

* 5.4" ($699 ?): 18M-20M (23%)

* 6.1" ($799 ?): 23M-25M (29%)

* 6.1" Pro ($999 ?): 16M-18M (20%)

* 6.7" Pro ($1,099 ?): 22M-24M (28%)

That's 79M-87M total units.

As such, it "appears" AAPL has placed a six month order with both Samsung & LG.

Also, IMO, the distribution makes the numbers believable.

As long as they don't mess with the Pro max model and it comes with OLED then things will be good

I wish OLED was never invented

I can't see you having to wait long for mini-LED phones.

As a customer I feel more confident with a Samsung screen
