When Apple releases the next iteration of the company's popular iPhones, it's rumored that the iPhone 16 and its variants will sport much brighter displays. Specifically, the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will see an upgraded display that boosts brightness.

As shared by 9to5Mac, a new report claims that Samsung Display will provide advanced OLED panels to three upcoming devices, the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max, and Google's Pixel 9.

It has been rumored that Samsung Display would provide the M14 OLED material set for iPhone 16 models. The M14 set is supposed to be more power-efficient due to blue phosphorescence technology.

The new set is supposed to boost brightness by up to 20%. With the iPhone 15 Pro featuring a max brightness of 1,000 nits, this would bump the iPhone 16 Pro to 1,200 nits.

This could be combined with the rumored microLED display that is supposed to improve brightness and color and reduce power usage.
