I’m assuming the X will be discountinued because OLED aren’t cheap and not as plentiful as some people here seem to believe.

And for those that are picky, OLED is not the ultimate display.

I much prefer the LCD panel in my 6+ over the OLED display in my X.

Apple tax avoidance”

Corporations and governments fail to fulfill their obligations all the time. Remember the inefficient (even racist) FEMA and other such USA, UK government organizations!

This charitable organization was NOT created for the benefit of the affluent nations, especially the self-proclaimed Number 1 country on earth:cool:! Mosquitoes, Viruses and even Bacteria like pathogenic Bacillus are mankind's common enemies, and every little helps.

So narrow-minded!

Mosquito emoji out yet?!
 
Time will tell if the build quality is not as cheap as the last red version.

Nice looking phones, but as others stated above it is likely a marketing ploy to clear out inventory in anticipation of the next-gen coming this Fall. Phil Schiller claps his hands and the monkies dance.

Creating new inventory seems like a strange way to clear out inventory. How does that work?

The most likely explanation for Apple releasing these new (PRODUCT)RED iPhones is that Apple has frequently released (PRODUCT)RED versions of some its products for many years now and, since it's a cause they believe in, we should probably expect them to continue to release (PRODUCT)RED versions of some of its products.

No, but sadly the pseudo-rebellian that.Apple.once.was emoji now is the conformist necktie ️https://emojipedia.org/emoji//
So let them do their normal citizen‘s duties

True. But PWM can be changed. If it’s somerhing inherent to OLED, it cannot.

Perhaps the modulation scheme can be changed -someday-, perhaps not, unless the underlying OLED structure can be changed.

I imagine if there were a better and equally efficient modulation method available today (without adverse consequences), it would have been used.

I'm guessing MicroLED is the future and OLED is a stop-gap (of sorts) for Apple.
 
That didn't answer my question: Why should I care about AIDS in AFRICA over people with AIDS in AMERICA?

You shouldn't, if you don't want to. You can, however, care about people in the US with AIDS as well as people in Africa with AIDS. Cool how that works, eh?

As for Product Red, they have stated goals. I see no reason to refuse to support their goals simply BECAUSE they don't address the needs of everyone.
 
What? No. But having three lines of OLED would stretch an already limited amount. We know the most expensive models will have OLED.
Ah so you mean the existing X won’t be in the lineup but $100 cheaper when the successor comes around. That makes sense. And I imagine we’ll see the same complaints as when Apple released the 5C vs a $100 cheaper 5.

Weirdly enough, some rumors are that the X successor will be cheaper anyway. So I guess that’s a win for people who want a 100$ cheaper phone?
