Apple Likely to Be Banned From Selling iPhones Made with Chinese Displays
UNITED STATES, JUL 15 – The U.S. International Trade Commission ruled that BOE infringed Samsung's OLED trade secrets, recommending import bans that could impact multiple iPhone models, including the iPhone 15 and 16 series.
- A preliminary ruling from the ITC on Friday found that BOE infringed Samsung Display’s trade secrets, recommending an import ban on BOE OLED panels.
- Amid a trade secret complaint by Samsung Display, the ITC found BOE and seven subsidiaries violated Section 337 of the Tariff Act, prompting the preliminary ruling.
- The decision recommends a limited exclusion order, a cease-and-desist order and a 100% bond during the Presidential review period, while barring imports of infringing products and halting sales of current inventory.
- IPhones like the iPhone 15, 15 Plus, 16, 16 Plus and 16e may be affected because some units use BOE screens, impacting sales in the U.S.
- The final ruling is expected in November 2025, followed by a two-month window during which President Trump can veto the exclusion order.
