Citing individuals who were familiar with the matter, according to the reports mass production and delivery for the panels which came from Samsung Display were planned to start within the third quarter of this year.

Out of total 80 million units, the publication has mentioned that Samsung Display would supply 38.17 million panels especially for the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus.
The iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus were asked to carry 6.1- and 6.7-inch displays, respectively. The iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max were even reported to come in the same screen sizes that were asked to be available on the other two models but with some display-level changes to supply a superior experience.
Some previous reports had suggested that the Pro models within the series would come with an always-on display feature.
Samsung Display was asked to create partners with companies which would include Duksan Neolux, Solus Advanced Materials, and Samsung SDI to mass produce and supply its OLED displays. Since the launch of the iPhone X in 2017 the company has been supplying its OLED screens to Apple. It was also asked to supply the largest display volume this year, all because of the growing sales of the recent iPhone models.
Alongside Samsung Display, China's BOE was also asked to be within the race to produce OLED panels for the iPhone 14 models. The South Korean company was however, speculated to surpass the production of its Chinese counterpart. There were possibilities that BOE would lose its contract this point of time because of some design modification issues.
