Apple Aims to Make Every iPhone With an OLED Display by 2019

They get them regularly in my area too, but I'm always a day late and a dollar short so I gave up until they are in adequate supply.
Or that they make the best phone! I'll pay more for the best phone, just like I pay more for the best
computer, a Mac. Or better cars or a better house etc..
What optimizations and performance improvements are you talking about? Afaik there's been nothing written about Apple optimizing OLED. If there is, I'd love to read about it.
No phone maker is doing it at the scale that Apple is making. Period. Huawei and Samsung produce a lot more phones, sure, but they don't manufacture hundred of units of the same phone. The s7 sold 25 million in launch quarter. The iPhone 7 sold 75 million units. If a Samsung phone needs a component that has a shortage, they can switch to another part for another model. If an iPhone has a part shortage of a part, it can only weather that shortage because every phone that Apple sells needs the same parts.
I will never only buy the next iPhone if it has the name iPhone 8 Pro GT XS edition.
I'm just letting them know there's an area on MR where they can post this topic for discussion. This thread is about display technology and we don't want it to get derailed or moved to PRSI because a new member may not yet be familiar with the forum structure.
There was an article on this subject on one of my newsfeeds that did state that once Apple/Tim became aware of the children's plight, there was a temporary halt placed until they can determine the situation and get it sorted, without causing these impoverished people to lose their only means of survival. So in the sense that Apple has stopped to investigate, Apple's part in this is not that deep a story. The story itself is very deep.
Apple reaps such profits because they only make high-margin upper-tier handsets and they have a natural monopoly on the iOS handset market. Anyone who wants an iOS phone has to pay an exorbitant price for it if they don't want to buy used. Many people without heavy needs would buy a cheaper/less powerful iPhone if one were available, but Apple does not make low-end phones and no one else can make iOS handsets to bring a product to compete with Apple, let alone introduce something for that market segment. It's called "captive audience".
There is the "SE". Still more expensive than other handsets but by Apple standards...
I don't think it is funny as those folks who continue to claim that Apple being LAST is because they want to it make the best.
I will never only buy the next iPhone if it has the name iPhone 8 Pro GT XS edition.
So the big thing for iPhone 6sssss will be oled. My Mac Pro feels kinda new

"Emoji pro" you heard it here first ! It's gonna be huge.
And ....do you want to be seen with next to the guy who is sporting a "wristband pro" clearly his wristband , while looking identical to yours is made for professionals and far far superior ....for only $25 more...
On a seriously note: the people on here who get themselves the most worked up over "pro" are the ones that label themselves as pros and are very vocal about be it . It's self importance , and most people here derive the income from using a computer these days, and frankly for most of the "pros" here, Any modern computer will meet their needs - a "pro" label not needed, in my opinion. FYI that is not aimed at yourself .

Can you define "Best"?

Well, the Samsung S7 and S7 edge were sold in the millions. If the Note 7 hadn't the battery problems, the landscape would have been totally different.
Apple isn't last, that's the problem with your statement. Go buy a Samsung lol. Good luck with it
I'm not talking about tech "gobbledygook", I'm talking about perfomance when running apps, or even the ability to run certain classes of apps. Running a game for an hour and having the frame rate drop to 20 FPS is noticable and embarrassing. As for this particular topic, a lot of display tech would be the same kind of "gobbledygook" since in many cases the general public isn't going to be able to tell or care if the color gamut is 5% larger or if the PPI is 500 instead of 375.
I think te hardest thing abou this news is this; I was interested in upgrading from my 6 to the new 8 this year, but if Apple is going to improve "all" the models in 2018, well maybe I should wait. With the exception of the battery the old 6 is running really great and there has to be some really compelling reasons to upgrade to the 8 now.
But maybe Apple will surprise us and have some really "to die for" features on the 8 this fall.

Maybe if we're doing one thing at a time.
But iOS often won't even let us switch between most apps without reloading and losing what we're doing, so I'd say it's not very optimized. Heck, even my oldest Android phones multitask better.
My old Moto Nexus 6 has an AMOLED display that while brilliant, constantly drains the phone's battery during normal usage. I also find this AMOLED screen to be overly saturated, mutes whites, and doesn't offer an accurate representation of color for when taking photos or during the post-editing process. I never meant Apple would be optimizing OLED technology. Rather, I'm confident Apple has found a way to more efficiently integrate it into the iPhone architecture much better than some competitor OEMs do currently.
My old S5 still has a great display and kickass battery life (original battery). Not quite as nice as my S7 display, but nice nonetheless. Anecdotes... amirite?
I imagine the panels Apple gets from Sammy will be calibrated very similarly to the panels that have earned Displaymate's best display for a number of years running. Hopefully they will also have the ability to choose display modes as well. One of the best features of Samsung displays.I truly believe you. It may not have been what you meant, but it's exactly what you wrote. Unlike my clairvoyant wife, I can't discern the intent written between the lines. Neither can she, but I am not dumb enough to dissuade her of that belief.
