Samsung declined to make 2025 iPhone SE 4 displays
https://9to5mac.com/2024/03/27/2025-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.
