Apple is considering switching micro-OLED display production for future versions of its Vision Pro headset from Sony to Chinese manufacturers BOE and SeeYa, The Information reports.
Hartley Charlton for MacRumors:
Sony, the current supplier of micro-OLED displays for Vision Pro, has apparently shown reservations about expanding its production capabilities for the components amid Apple’s effort to ramp up mass production of the headset. Chinese technology firms BOE Technology and SeeYa Technology, on the other hand, are showing significant commitment to the technology, supported by local government initiatives. Apple is currently testing displays from these two suppliers for both a next-generation Vision Pro model and a future low-cost mixed-reality headset device.
If BOE and SeeYa can meet Apple’s rigorous quality standards, there is the potential for them to outright replace Sony as the principal Vision Pro display supplier in the future.
MacDailyNews Take: Maybe Apple’s flirtations will prod Sony into action.
