Apple Inc.'s AAPL troubles with the iPhone 15's display have apparently been solved, paving the way for a smoother rollout despite analyst reports hinting at delays.
What Happened: Apple has solved the display assembly issues and ramped up production ahead of the iPhone 15 launch, according to a report by Display Supply Chain Consultants.

The report adds that LG Display, which is one of the display suppliers for the iPhone 15 series, has overcome the initial production hiccups. Apple has also ramped up its display orders, anticipating demand to be higher than the iPhone 14 series.
One of the issues LG Display faced was carving out the punch hole cutout – Apple is reportedly expanding the Dynamic Island to all four iPhone 15 models. For context, the non-Pro iPhone 14 models featured a notch, while the iPhone 14 Pro models feature Dynamic Island.
Apple is expected to launch four iPhone 15 models at its hardware event in September. This includes the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max.
Price Hikes In Store: The DSCC report also points to a possible price hike for the iPhone 15 Pro models by $100 each. This means the iPhone 15 Pro will start at $1,099 and the iPhone 15 Pro Max at $1,199. This also backs up another report that pointed at a price hike but had not specified the exact price hike.
In addition, the base iPhone 15 model is also expected to increase its display size to 6.12-inch from 6.1-inch on the iPhone 14.
