Samsung Electro-Mechanics is rumored to be shutting its doors due to poor profits. Even though the company provided circuit boards for the iPhone 12 and will also provide them for the upcoming iPhone 13. The unit still appears ready to leave the circuit business behind. Meanwhile, Samsung Display will be supplying Apple with 110 million displays for the iPhone in 2021, with an additional 50 million coming from LG Display and 9 million from BOE. Both of those displays will be of the 60Hz variety to be used in the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini. Apple is expected to reveal the upcoming iPhone 13 in the fall of 2021, possibly in September. However, with all the supply chain delays being experienced by all the tech giants, there could be a delay, meaning we could see the next iteration of iPhones hitting the market in October or later.
