"the tenth anniversary edition model could cost upwards of $1,000," :- Macrumors Said
If it costed that much i will most likely Pass, No doubt Apple is going to make a "FAT"Profit margin from this hyped iPhone 8
Yeah... it might be a bit more important on an iPhone with no home button. Also it's faster when using it as a trackpad for text. And technically it's faster at clearing notifications.
I think the hangup might be twofold. 1. $1000 presents a psychological barrier for some. 2. You're quoting the top of the line of the top of the line. I think the hesitancy stems from a fear of $1000 being the starting price, not the max price. It's all rumor at this point, but that my take.
Harry, if anyone replies to you with a definitive 'yes' or 'no' immediately give that comment a side eye. Immediately.
"The Best Smartphone Display
The Galaxy S8 is the first in a new generation of OLED Smartphones that have a Full Screen Display design. It has many major and important state-of-the-art display performance enhancements, features and functions, with mobile OLED display technology now advancing faster than ever. The Galaxy S8 is the most innovative and high performance Smartphone display that we have ever lab tested. So the Galaxy S8 becomes the Best Performing Smartphone Display, earning DisplayMate’s highest ever A+ grade." -Displaymate
Dollars to doughnuts, Apple is getting these panels. Couple that with Apple's under the hood voodoo, and I'd be willing to bet the OLED iPhone will take that Displaymate crown. That's not to say there aren't relevant trade-offs of OLED vs LCD. We're at a point now with screen tech, especially at the top end, where saying 'much better' becomes moot. It's pretty hard to find a flagship device; heck even a mid-tier device, with a bad looking display. iPhones have a great looking display now. They will have a great looking display when the new phones debut. Should be the least of your worries.
Apologies for the length.
Fair point at face value. But if the rumored phone comes with escalating storage tiers, then there will be a top of the line, top of the line just like the 256GB 7Plus. Example: 64GB iPhone 8 @ $1K - 256GB iPhone 8 @ $1100. That $1100 iPhone 8 is the top of the line top of the line. That's what I meant by starting price of entry being $1K instead of most expensive being $1K. Everything is rumored right now so we don't know, but it seems unlike Apple to offer only one choice of storage.
It depends. The very first OLED screens were bright, but had disadvantages like losing their brightness over time, and burn in. Which meant it looked better in the shop than LCD but not a year later when you used it. This has supposedly improved. I would imagine that Apple wouldn't use it if those problems were not solved.
perhaps with iOS 11 there will be more/better integration. If they are sinking this much money into 3D touch, it would make sense its not just for the current capabilities. I hope.
Thank you for this information! Your explanation was thorough and not condescending.
No one said your comment was wrong. I said anyone offering a simple yes or no deserves a side eye. As you realized, I also said "no", OLED is not "much better" than LCD. So we agree there. I simply provided further context to the poster to let them know it's pretty much a non-issue at this point, and also to give them some info on tech they were unfamiliar with. Not to say my way is better or worse than yours. Just different. Just so you know, the comment below is the type of comment that I was referencing in particular. It lends no value to the conversation.
As has been pointed out a zillion times, yes. But you don't even have to calibrate it: there is a very simple setting to change the display on Samsung phones. Many people know about that setting but still prefer the vibrancy of the default setting.
Apple apparently underestimated demand for the 7+ causing temporary shortages well into their production cycle and I suspect that if the 8 lives up to the hype created thus far, shortages for this new OLED model could be unprecedented.
