The report further says that AUO is almost ready to sign an agreement with Apple to supply iPhone screens of various sizes, including 4-inch, 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch LTPS in-cell displays.

"Apple is looking for additional panel suppliers both for current and upcoming iPhones in order to secure shipments, as other makers' yields have been fluctuating," according to a published report.

The publication further claims that AUO's role in Apple's supply chain isn't likely to begin until the launch of 2016 iPhones, which could be the next-generation of iPhones.

Earlier this year, the same publication had claimed that Apple would launch a 4-inch iPhone 6c model later this year. The cheaper model will feature scratch-resistant Corning Gorilla Glass, near-field communication (NFC), and fingerprint scanning technologies.
