it house news on october 5th, digitimes published a blog post yesterday (october 4th), reporting that novatek will be responsible for supplying display drivers for apple’s ultra-thin iphone 17 (previously reported to have the suffix air or slim) chip (display driver ic, ddic for short).

it house has attached part of the report as follows:

novatek has announced plans to begin mass production of its highly anticipated oled tddi technology as early as the second quarter of 2025.

while industry insiders have remained mum on potential end customers, there is speculation that novatek's proposed delivery schedule could be consistent with the launch of the next-generation iphone screen in 2025.

if novatek is targeting chinese flagship models released in late 2025 or samsung devices launching in early 2026, there will be no need to increase delivery capacity in the second quarter of 2025, so apple is most likely to be one of the major customers.
