The basic price tag for the iPhone X last year was largely determined by the increase in the price of OLED displays purchased from Samsung.
Cupertino giants will seek to change this by working with new supplier LG Display.
According to a Bloomberg report, LG Display will initially ship between 2 million and 4 million OLED devices, but will continue to increase production and become the largest supplier.
