Industry insiders report that Apple has asked LG to ramp up production significantly of LCD panels for iPads. Reportedly, the surge in demand for big-screen devices during the pandemic in Asia has asked for an uptick in manufacturing.
Initially, Apple lowered its orders to LG and its other suppliers as the company expected a significant drop in sales. But LG is forced to react fast to the changing demand so it doesn’t fall behind the competition coming from Japan’s Sharp and China’s BOE Display.
