It's ironic to think back to the news in February 2013, when:
"At a Goldman Sachs investor conference today, the Apple CEO dismissed the idea that [OLED] display technology is something Apple should adopt."
Cook, asked if Apple would consider creating devices with larger displays, said that size and specifications are things companies focus on when they can’t “create an amazing experience.”
You can hope, but if history is any indication, there will be shortages following the release of that special 10th anniversary iPhone. Everybody and their uncle will want one, and Foxconn and Wistron, or whoever else Apple chooses for final assembly, won't be able to churn them out fast enough to meet an anticipated huge demand, even if there are no parts supply issues, which will be a first.Let's hope they can fill the order so we will not have shortages on release day as in previous years .
Thanks Samsung for developing, manufacturing and beta testing our OLED panels. We will still say Apples implementation is way better though.

The jealousy exists I see..The iPhone has been the ugliest phone for 3 years in a row...This year included ....While Samsung has been the most beautiful consistently in the past 3 years....
I'd prefer if Apple didn't give Samsung any business.
There are no batteries in OLED screens.Apple should be careful, Samsung has a terrible reputation for exploding hardware. I would double or triple check all 70 million units for defects.
Why are all these concepts show asymmetrical design where top bazel is narrower than bottom bazel?
Looking at length of S8 or LG G6, i feel Apple cannot push 5.8 inch display in the phone with external dimensions of 4.7 inch iphone.
Also i saw black bars on the side for both S8 and G6 while watching videos due to almost 2:1 aspect ratio and watching content created for 16:9 aspect ratio.
Of course not, on a thread about Apple getting panels from Samsung, you are talking about cpus, gotcha...Haha. Just you wait. I wasn't talking about OLED panels in particular as there hasn't been an OLED iPhone yet.
Just you wait.
Apple is buying the screens because if quality and only Samsung can produce that quality in the numbers required.
Your BS is spouted every single year... riiiiiight up until September, when Apple FLATTENS Samsung with common sense, subtlety, class and dignity...

hence Samsung makes the best screens.
Samsung is the only manufacturer who is making OLED panels for phones now & Samsung is the only manufacturer who can support Qty required by Apple, that doesn't mean they are the best, basically there is no option.

I called you out for exactly what you are. I don't think you understand what class and ignorance are."the fanboy apologists"
Nice touch of ignorance there, classy... sheer intelligence.
It will be different because calibration of display, processor & software used to drive the display also matters.
LG is the only major OLED TV display manufacturer now but still TV quality will be different depending on who you buy the TV from (LG/Sony etc).

You seem angry my friend, would you like a hug?Your BS is spouted every single year... riiiiiight up until September, when Apple FLATTENS Samsung with common sense, subtlety, class and dignity, and the introduction of VALUABLE features, all in a calm subtle and witty manner. Nice way to justify your S8 purchase, by attempting - poorly - to imply that because you think the S8 is amazing, that iPhone MUST be rubbish, and will need to "catch up" to Samsung's hilarious "feature" freak show.
Poor Samsung, the fact that they unashamedly demonstrate their sheer cluelessness and desperation, year after year, is nothing less than both baffling AND hilarious, simultaneously.

I don't think so, if there are 5 different suppliers you evaluate them based on their performance and decide 1 supplier out of 5 is the best then you can say they are the best, if there is no comparison then you just buy what ever they make, this doesn't mean they are the best.Actually that's exactly what it means. Due to lack of an alternative, Samsung is the best.

GTAT has never manufactured sapphire, they are experts at providing sapphire manufacturing equipment, not manufacturing sapphire, this is where they screwed up, they made a deal with Apple to manufacture/supply Sapphire which is not their expertise.They both screwed up. Basically, GTAT was in over their heads dealing with Apple's demands and meddling.
