Hilarious!!! I'm not sure if you understand that Samsung has the option to remove extra contrast/saturation to the screen. It is honestly just 100 times better in every regard. The only way that you could honestly dis that screen is if you had a personal hatred over top quality.
actually, I have a hatred of everything on a screen having a weird iridescent cyan/green color cast, like every samsung phone I've seen.
 
It does. The right tool for thr right job.
So when Apple does finally decide to use OLED for the iPhone it would be the right tool for the job then? I am not following why it was okay to use it for the watch vs using IPS panel. Based on everyones argument clearly IPS is superior so it should have been used in the watch too. So why didn't they?

There are issues surrounding the current implementations of OLED from what I've read. It may be that OLED has advancements in the pipeline that Apple thinks will enhance the iProducts in 2018.

The watch was likely used partly as a testing ground for Apple branded OLED devices. The bottom line is we don't know why Apple has decided not to use OLED... but they are smarter than me and I prefer their devices to others. So I'll default to their judgement here. I'm sure Apple has thought about using OLED at least a year or two ago....
