Japan is one of the primary suppliers when it comes to the LCD panels for the iPhones. However, it still needs to complete its transition for manufacturing OLED displays.

At this moment, Samsung is the only supplier for OLED displays for Apple. Apple, on the other hand, has also invested billions of dollars in order to help its rival LG with the production of OLED. However, it seems that the company is said to be struggling with some unknown manufacturing issues, which is said to push the iPhone mass production. It is further being speculated that LG might get its OLED manufacturing back on track for the next year's product cycle. Till then Apple will have to bank on its major competitor Samsung for the OLED panels in 2018.
