The original target was for around 45 million to 50 million iPhone X displays, reports Nikkei.And this is just for the January-March quarter, there may be additional cutbacks for April-June. The company is reportedly looking at Chinese and other customers to make up the difference.Last year, Samsung invested $12.6 billion to boost its OLED production capacity in anticipation of an iPhone X boom that never came. Early predictions for 2018 profits were to beat the 6-year high of Q2 last year, but now it’s looking like Samsung’s display business may be in for a slump.Source: <a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/us-samsung-elec-oled/samsung-electronics-to-slash-oled-panel-production-as-iphone-x-demand-disappoints-nikkei-idUSKCN1G408K" target="_blank">Reuters</a></blockquote>
