Samsung declined to make 2025 iPhone SE 4 displays

Samsung, BOE, and Tianma were said to be competing for contracts to
manufacture iPhone SE 4 displays but a new supply-chain report says that Samsung declined to make those displays for the iPhone SE 4 which is
expected to debut in 2025, even as Samsung has made previous displays.
The Korean report says that Samsung was unable to reach agreement with
Apple on the price of the displays, and so they will instead be made exclusively by China's BOE.
Samsung [reportedly] abandoned supply negotiations for price reasons in the middle of this month, mainly because Apple's price was only $25. Samsung's previous offer was $30.
The report says that Tianma failed to show that it could meet Apple's
quality standards for the display, so BOE has now been awarded the sole contract.
