At the beginning of July, we commented that the complex manufacturing process of the Apple Vision Pro would have forced the Cupertino giant to cut its production by another 50%, with special emphasis on displays of the headset — by far the most complicated pieces of the entire kit. Then, according to The InformationApple is already studying some alternatives to solve this problem.
More specifically, the company would be talking to its longtime partner BOE Technology it’s at SeeYa Technology to produce displays for a future generation of the Vision Pro, as well as a possible more affordable version of the headset. Currently, it is worth remembering Sony is solely responsible for manufacturing Micro-OLED screensOrganic light-emitting diodeor organic light-emitting diode.”>1 4K of the device, being able to only provide something around 800,000 displays per year.
According to sources heard by the vehicle, Apple has already started testing some displays produced by these two suppliers and, if they pass their rigorous quality tests, we may see Sony completely replaced by BOE and SeeYa in the future. This, worth noting, would also mark the first time Apple has done business with the latter.
Another detail that would have drawn Apple’s attention is the fact that these two manufacturers have received aid from the Chinese government for the manufacture of Micro-OLED displays in the country. BOE, for example, alone would have received something around $750 million in incentives.
Sony, it is worth remembering, would have refused a request from Apple to increase its production of displays, precisely because of the complexity of the components. According to information from the The Electhe Japanese company would have the capacity to produce something around 100 to 200 thousand displays per quarter.
