amoled in the future?

That's what I refer to by battery issues. If the entire LCD display is turning on when you get a notification, and like most of us, that's a lot, you will have issues with the battery not lasting nearly as long as before. Compared to AMOLED where you don't have that problem.

AMOLED is an improvement in that respect, but, again, it doesn't mean LCD causes issues (as issues are basically synonymous with problems). It's a different technology and uses some more battery power for display purposes, but it doesn't mean it's an actual problem of some sort.

The AMOLED screen is ok, but lousy also. Every time I go to best buy and see the Samsung phones, the screen has burnt images that I can see faintly in the screen. I don't want a screen that leaves burnt in details from it being used too much.

I would assume that's basically from leaving the screen on 24/7 and mostly in the same content as a display unit. Something that would essentially not apply to anyone with a phone that uses it.

I thought the colors on the S6 were almost fake looking, I didn't know you could adjust that. If Apple goes with it will it have the same adjustability to it or will we get what they think is good?

man I used a 6 and a galaxy s6 fancy edge side by side the other day... the iphone screen is sad in comparison

Well, the S6 has the highest rated display ever tested. Seeing as how that is a follow up to the highest rated display of last year (Note 4) I wouldn't be surprised it looked better than the iPhone 6. Thing is, I'm not buying a phone with Touchwiz so I'm cool using older AMOLED panels or IPS LCDs

I'm still hoping the 6s will have an OLED display.

I am afraid the soonest will be the iPhone 7 next year. But it never hurts to hope.

Couldn't agree more, having that Samsung S6 for those few days were heavenly. The screen really does just blow you away, the crispness is just so intense and vibrant!

And their RAM #

I hear the new OS is so efficient they are cutting RAM back to .5GB just to prove that it does not need it.

I've had a Note 4, S4, S5 and S6. Never encountered even the slightest hint of persistent image.

Demo models in stores tend to show burn in because they are on for hours at a time with demo software with the same content on the screen all day.

It's like the so-called "yellowing" of iPhone screens I hear about, but have never once experienced in my own usage.

iPhone 6 (Plus) had the best display until Note 4/S6 came out. Those 2 displays are simply better than the iPhone 6 one. More accurate colors, higher contrast ratio, perfect blacks, and brighter (so it's easier to see in bright light). iPhone 6 has a great display, second only to those two, but the technology used in its display won't see many (if any) improvements. AMOLED (and a few other technologies) are the future and they should be implemented into next gen iPhone ASAP (if Apple wants to use the best hardware for their flagship device, which they've done since the beginning).

amoled in the future?



I'm confused? How are all those exclusive to an AMOLED display? They sound more like software features.

The unused areas of the screen are essentially dead and draw no power. So for example when you get a lock screen notification only the actual notification consumes power if everything else is black.

That's why Apple watch and pretty much all smart watches use amoled and no LCD.

Powering the entire display when you only need to power a section makes more sense and saves on battery life.

LCD's set in the same environment will also tend to Burn in. burn in used to be a dramatic issue with LCD Displays, to the point when LCD tv's became popular, they basically said "don't use a console / computer on this thing".

even CRT's suffered burn in. Pretty much all display technology has this potential, though it's far far reduced since the 90's.

heck, there's a reason why the moving picture display that can go on your screen we all used to use was called a "Screen Saver"

it was meant to save your screen from burn in when idle

Thanks for the explanation but you were 2 months too late lol.
