　　Industry chain sources emphasized that although BOE has obtained the qualification, it does not mean that the OLED screens used for the iPhone will be immediately available, because Apple will continue to inspect BOE because the technology they provide is not mature enough, and it is expected that it will take some time to finally meet Apple's quality requirements. This year, the new generation of iPhones will be released, and BOE should be able to see the screens supplied by BOE. (Titanium Media)
