Apple has nothing to do with these screens. It's all innovation and tech from Samsung.
I will skip the first gen oled iPhones .. I just know it's going to have issues.
When the original iPhone was introduced at Macworld Expo January 9th 2007, and the rumours from 2 days ago say the iPhone 8 may not ship until November, how on earth can it be an anniversary iPhone? If it indeed ships in November (I doubt it) it will be 3/4 closer to an 11 year iPhone. Anniversaries mean nothing to Apple.

And what I am saying that regardless of how it is used, the display is still prone to burns. How you use the phone is totally irrelevant and I don't think there is any right or wrong way. Some people could use the phone as a side bed clock when sleeping. I am not saying it will happen but the issue with burning doesn't seem to have been resolved, at least not till last year.
Nice for sure, but necessary on such a small screen? Worth it at such a high price? And just how fragile will these things be?
I'm starting to wonder if they'll exist like the Series 1 Apple Watches. iPhone 8 will be the new iPhone, and the 7S will replace the 7 completely but have the latest processor so it can still run the AR platform.
No duh, it's a demo unit constantly replaying the same images on the screen, for months at end. Such things don't/rarely happens a to a modern SAMOLED(Samsung) display. Samsung is selling Apple OLED screens, not the ones you would find in a current Samsung flagship.
Did you read the post you quoted, or just skim through it looking for points of contention?
It seems some OLEDs are subject to burn in. That's not the same as OLED is subject to burn in. I can say this with confidence, as I own an LG OLED, and it isn't subject to burn in. Or even image retention. I should know all about image retention, as I've owned a few very good plasma sets which did suffer.
I have absolutely no doubt that some OLED panels, particularly early ones, do suffer from at least some IR. That does not mean they all do, and it certainly doesn't mean that the iPhone will. It might, but we won't know until it's in the hands of consumers.
Are you saying Samsung is selling Apple better screens than those that they use themselves? Because according to:
http://bgr.com/2017/04/04/galaxy-s8-vs-iphone-8-oled-display-review/
the Samsung S8 ("current Samsung flagship", your words) has the best screen ever.
They type of OLED scream Samsung uses in there phones, are different from anybody else's. Samsung uses SAMOLED displays, the best you can get. They make the best you can get in the industry right now. And are the only ones producing a curved SAMOLED display at any kind of reasonable yield. What Samsung is selling Apple is not, what they have in their current phones(S8). Or what other companies may use. What Samsung uses and sells are two different things.

No Samsung is selling Apple just that OLED screens, not what they use in their phones(SAMOLED).
Oh, I think I get it, but if for instance (and we don't know) the iPhone 8 used a curved edge would that require a SAMOLED display?
So either oled is subject to burn in or not and how do you if yours is or isn't? Whatever Samsung is using on the galaxy s7 is subject to burn in. It's been reported LG oled tvs are subject to burn in. Http://fudzilla.com/news/42511-oled-suffers-from-burn-in-effect
Ya. I've seen that but for whatever reason I thought we were talking about something after the 7S. What's the reason they are skipping the 7S?
edit: nevermind. I finished reading the whole thing.

Note how this conflict applies to "us" consumers too. How often have you read consumer proclamations of "I'll never buy anything made by Samsung again" only to be evolved into "I mean Samsung-branded products" so "we" can reconcile buying an Apple product with key components made by Samsung. In fact, most of the time, it's pretty hard to buy almost anything from Apple that doesn't have something made by Samsung in it. So "we' hate all things from Samsung except the things Apple chooses to weave into Apple products.
Or worse: more than a few times, we've had products from Apple where Apple split the component orders between Samsung and a Samsung competitor(s). Issues arise (yellowing screens for example) and then individuals are returning the product and "hoping I get the Samsung one this time."
It appears that both we consumers and Apple knows where our bread is buttered yet hate on them anyway... but gobble up select slices of that bread if Apple chooses to spread their butter for us.
To quote the great modern philosophers (Sonny & Cher): The beat goes on.
Since this is rumor "we", unless you're an insider don't know exactly the part number Apple is alleged to be buying.

And what does that have to do with anything? All I am saying is that it is still prone to burns and the potential to get burned is still there. You gonna coach people how to use it and not letting it on for hours on some particular app while is charging? I don't see LCD display units that are playing demo for months and moths having the same issue, do you? I would still buy OLED because they look beautiful, since I don't keep my phone for more then 2 years, max 3 but if the issue is still there, it is still there.

But still only Samsung have 6th gen OLED factory. LGD is still in test running. Other providers are 4th gen yet.
I just got an iPhone 7 Plus. What I like about it is that it is kind of a third generation of the iPhone 6. The design has been refined and problems have been corrected. With iPhone Edition this year, I consider it to be a generation 1 design that will in my opinion need refinements. No doubt iPhone Edition is going to be amazing, but I'll wait a few iterations
Samsung never sells its latest amoled screen technology to other vendors......and since Apple is all about profit.... I'm sure they purchased a older generation of amoled curved technology but will present it to fanboys as something brand new and innovative with true tone.
