BOE effectively loses iPhone 17 OLED supply… Samsung Display expected to benefit It has been found that Chinese company BOE’s planned OLED panel supply for Apple’s iPhone 17 this year has effectively fallen through. As it failed to resolve technical problems…
BOE’s loss of iPhone OLED supply is driven by three verified factors: production non-compliance, inferior yields, and legal risk.
1. Origin of the breakdown
BOE altered TFT circuit widths in iPhone 13 OLED panels without Apple’s approval. Apple suspended production. BOE then failed to secure most iPhone 14 orders (reported ~30 M panels). Trust degradation continued into later cycles.
2. Technical performance gap
Apple requires high-yield, high-uniformity LTPO OLED for Pro-level devices. Samsung Display and LG Display maintain materially higher yields. BOE’s yield instability and recurring quality deviations prevented volume allocation.
3. Market share collapse
For the iPhone 17 cycle, BOE supplied ~1.3 M panels (~1.4 %). Samsung and LG supplied ≈99 %. BOE’s role is now marginal.
4. Legal pressure 🤔🤔🤔
The U.S. ITC issued a preliminary ruling that BOE misappropriated Samsung Display’s OLED trade secrets and recommended an import ban. If finalized, BOE panels cannot enter the U.S. market. Apple cannot rely on a supplier exposed to a potential ban in its largest revenue region.
5. Apple’s strategic shift
Apple redirected volume to Samsung Display and LG Display, prioritizing yield reliability and legal safety. BOE is effectively confined to low-volume or region-specific roles.
6. Consequences for BOE
Large OLED fab investments built to serve Apple will be underutilized. Re-entry requires demonstrably stable yields, strict process compliance, and resolution of IP litigation.

Agnibaan’s Updated Capabilities vs. SSLV
Agnikul’s recent website update indicates a major upgrade to Agnibaan’s performance.
According to their latest specifications:
* Payload capacity: ~500 kg to 700 km LEO in its highest-performance configuration
* This surpasses ISRO’s SSLV, which places ~500 kg into a 400–500 km orbit
* In a reusable configuration, this suggests roughly 1,000 kg to a 400 km orbit
Agnibaan’s first orbital launch is currently targeted for Q1 2026. 🚀🇮🇳
Originally, the vehicle was aimed at ~100 kg to LEO, but the upgraded specs imply a shift—likely due to the practicality limits of reusability at very small scales.
Additional notes:
* The vehicle includes a kick stage for higher-energy orbits.
* Dimensions are not listed publicly; based on available data, the vehicle is estimated to be ~17 m tall with a ~1.8 m diameter.

Sarla Aviation's ₹1,300Cr "Sky Factory" in Andhra Pradesh
Bengaluru-based Sarla Aviation has committed ₹1,300 crore to establish India's first giga-scale eVTOL (electric vertical take-off and landing) manufacturing hub in Anantapur, AP.
Key Highlights
* Project: A 500-acre "Sky Factory" at Thimmasamduram village.
* Phasing:
* *Phase 1:* ₹330cr investment over 150 acres.
* *Phase 2:* Expansion to full 500 acres.
* Capacity: Targeted production of up to 1,000 aircraft annually.
* Facilities: Includes manufacturing (composites, powertrains, landing gear), testing infrastructure, and a dedicated 2km runway.
* Impact: Initial creation of ~180 jobs (direct/indirect) by 2027, aiming for urban air mobility operations in South India by ~2029.
Significance
Facilitated by APADCL, this project positions Andhra Pradesh as a leader in green aviation and reduces reliance on imported vertical mobility systems.
