Apple is 'Close' to OLED Screen Deal With LG and Samsung for Future iPhones

Get ready for.... Displaygate!

iPhone 7 release... MacRumor users:

"What's the best way to get a Rose Gold iPhone 7 Plus with a TSMC A10 Chip and LG display? I read online that the LG display is 2% brighter and 1% more energy efficient. I deserve only the best!"

Sad part is it's only the beginning...

I'm sure more and more parts will be made by multiple companies over the next few years. People will be wanting the Rose Gold iPhone 7S Plus with a TSMC A11 Chip, LG Display, and Samsung flash memory because it has 32 mb more of available storage and is 1% faster than SanDisk's :rolleyes:

The "the chips aren't the same" lawsuit is right around the corner.

Unfortunately it still is an issue, however there are software tweaks that aid in preventing it.

I'm actually surprised you haven't seen it on your Nexus 6P. My friend has experienced it.

No problems at all on my 6P. The 6P has the same screen as the Note 5 by the way.
 
Long overdue and needs to come sooner. Fixes having to exhange a device multiple times due to LCD defects plus the benefits of no backlight bleed and true black. Personally, I'm more excited about hybrids and laptops getting SAMOLED.

On OLED screens, black takes less power, while white on the LED tech on current iPhones takes less power. I'd like to see them offer a 'Dark Mode' or just a black-based UI in general, like the Apple Watch.

As much as I don't like the Apple Watch, the UI is pretty cool in places, especially because it seems to blend into the black bezel quite well.

I've always wanted Dark Mode on iOS! Even 2+ years after iOS 7 I'm still not a fan of all the white. I even went out of my way to design our app using dark backgrounds and UI blurs.

It boggles my mind that a company (ok, two companies) can spend $12.8 Billion for a factory just to make iPhone screens.
That is some serious manufacturing capacity and I am sure extremely high quality standards.

If you're cranking out over 200 million iPhones a year, it better damn well be

Can someone enlighten me? Why switch? I thought Apple was so proud of using IPS LCD Touch screens....

Apple will always use what it feels is the best screen possible to fullfil its purpose. Right now it's IPS LCD. Maybe in 2 to 3 years it'll be OLED. Time changes, technology also changes.

It would be costly for a super AMOLED running on a laptop. At least for now.
 
On my Apple Watch I really like how the display blends into the bezel. But I'm hoping the iPhone 7 has a minimal bezel. As for the tech itself, the OLED on the Watch doesn't have smooth gradients to black. Just check out the "Solar" watch face to see how bad it looks. How do you deal with that? Can the edge pixels be gradually dimmed? Has this problem already been solved and the Watch just happens to use an energy efficient display configuration? I could see this irritating a lot of people on a bigger phone display that is used more. Background blurs blobs on the Watch irritate me. There's no smooth transition to black. It's just backlit #010101 or no backlit #000000. Efficient but not pretty. Perhaps the delay in switching is Apple perfecting a better way of doing things?

It's because life span and price, so that's why OLED hasn't been putting on iPhones? And now the OLED just good enough to work on?
Even though, I'm worried Samsung would give iPhone a second grade quality screen and keep first grade panels to their own, I don't trust them.

And possibly "top-notch quality control" grade device, hand picked, right out of the factories.

How about we hand-crafted our own iPhones in the factory?

Hopefully they can get rid of the horrible blue color shifting (at least to me) seen on Samsung OLED screens like my tab S2. It's worse then ips screen dimming when looked at an angle.
