My comment has nothing to do with Apple getting off the shelf components. It was reply to Col4bin's comment about Apple perfecting OLED. It doesn't make sense. It's like saying Apple perfected NFC.
You'd forgive me for making that assumption of the underlined based on "They're buying screens from Samsung, and after that, probably from Sharp".
Blah! Didn't read your post clearly the first go through and edited. You are just kung fu quick with your reply!
And the world OLED supply chains are completely bound up. In order to supply the volume required for iPhones Apple would have to have invested years ago in the factories...which they did....which is why we're going to see the results of that this year.
Doing anything at this scale takes time, patience young grasshopper.
Haha, that's some quality sarcasm, friend.I'm overjoyed beyond belief. Time for us to celebrate
Apple's new invention! OLED screen for smartphones!
Being Apple, they discovered that OLED screens are
way better than Samsung's AMOLED screens. It was
worth the wait.
.....I agree a lower resolution helps with performance, but the A series is still years ahead of the SoC's from Qualcomm and the like performance wise so what's with the underlined?
I have owned more than a few AMOLED phones and do not know of these screen inconsistencies you speak of. OLED screens do conserve battery life more than LCD and there is proof of that not just hear speak. For one, it is because OLED lights up only the necessary pixels that is needed rather than requiring back-lighting the whole screen to be on all the time to pass light thru the pixels as LCD does. This is where it saves on battery.
OLED to me and some others close to me I know prefer phones with OLED screens as opposed to LCD because it is easier on our eyes. But each to their own in that regard.
Apple is cheap is why they are taking so long to get OLED screens. They want to squeeze every penny but its ok to build a huge HQ that is not needed. The logic is beyond me lol

It might be because your post contains no actual logic....
Because lots of Apple consumers still think by buying Apple you buy the latest and the greatest. Anno 2017 this don't hold up.
Because the competition lacks the kind of scale that Apple needs to manufacture at. Most other OEMs will only need to make a few millions units at most while Apple needs tens of millions for each model.
What does cheap have to do with anything with implementing OLED technology? Are you an engineer? Anybody that knows anything more Apple, knows they are never first to release the latest technology. They take their time and try to perfect it. And do something different The other manufacturers have not implemented. Furthermore, it's not always about Apple being late to the game with products, sometimes part manufacturers of players also put a constraint.
And your comment to disparage against building a new headquarters is only to hate against Apple. That has nothing to do with Apple releasing new technology.
I will be very disappointed if the to be released SE only gets a RAM upgrade if you can believe the rumors. If the Galaxy S8 comes out the S7 will likely be similar priced as the SE. It ain't compete every anymore especially not in china or India.

Ermmm, huawei can do it, Samsung can do it, Oppo can do it... but Apple can't? Look at the fastest growing brands (Samsung had a misfortune with the note 7, luckily for Apple) in the world... they all sell Amoled by the millions.
You're forgiven.
Still not sure of the correlation between me stating they're buying screens from Samsung and Sharp (they are) and the assumption that it's off the shelf components. One doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the other.I hope I'm wrong but I can't see Apple staying on top for the foreseeable future. I think huawei, Samsung, oppo and other Chinese brands take over. The pace Apple innovates is like a snail traveling to weeds the last 4 years.
Two manufacturer's that I know of that use OLED and retail those phones for around $400. Huawei and Motorola (Lenovo).
How about this? Apple reaps 94% of the profits for cell phones because the optimization of
IOS is so good! HOWZAT?

94% of profits for Apple in the cell phone industry prove otherwise
