Samsung to Start Making LTPO OLED Displays for Apple in First Half of 2021

[44267547]

Is touch id plausible?

Yes, rumored many times to be embedded under display, also offered in conjunction with face ID. Supposedly, slated to debut this year fall 2021.

This is a game changer!!!

Hate to admit it, but it’s true. I’ve never gotten the new iPhone two years in a row (usually every 2-3 years), but this may be what makes me do it this time.

 

[Hyperchaotic]

I’m more interested in the screen capabilities reducing their refresh rate to let’s say 15hz or so to save power when the phone is rendering something static.

That's exactly the main feature of LTPO. It's why the Apple Watch Series 5 and Series 6 can go down to 1Hz.

LG OLED displays for the "non-Pro" models... now that's unfortunate.
Hopefully LG got their sh*t together and are know able to produce above mediocre OLEDs.

They are shutting down their phone business.

They still make good OLED panels, according to many.

Unless these new displays help increase battery life, who cares of they can swipe up and down fast and remain stutter-free? That seems to be the only thing any tech reviewer / YouTuber does to show how beneficial 120Hz refresh is. Does it help when reading an email? Or watching a video or movie, or looking at News or reading MacRumors forums?

I certainly don’t see the benefit on my iPad Pro, which is what I’m writing this on now. I think other brands hyped up 120Hz refresh because they didn’t have much else to offer AND with Android being far less smooth in normal operation, it helped mask some of the stuttering.

Makes certain things easier to see while swiping, such as when going through your photo library or when scrolling through a movie catalog. It’s also useful for those small few who would play video games that make use of it.

It's literally baking the bread in the oven and serving it hot. Will Apple have enough time to test and certify these displays?

Apple have already tested and certified these displays ;-)

Except there's no such thing as pro motion technology. Pro motion is just a marketing term for a refresh rate.

Except there is. It's an adaptive refresh rate. Not a fixed refresh rate. Not a variable refresh rate. Adaptive. It adjusts the frame rate based on need at the time. It can drop as low as 24 hz and push up to as high as that 120.

 

[Rafterman]

Do you actually think every part or technology used in a Samsung Device is made/invented by Samsung? Now THAT'S FUNNY🤣

No one thinks that. But people s*** on Samsung all the time, but without them, a lot of Apple's ideas would not come to fruition. You can have the most brilliant ideas and designs in the world. But without "boots on the ground" to make the stuff at a high quality, to fabricate the machines needed to make the stuff, you have nothing.

After using Android phones with 120 hz I can say without hesitation 120 hz on a phone is meaningless while on an ipad there is a difference

 

[slamuelrock]

I bet the vast majority, if they were not told anything about 120hz refresh would never even know or see any difference. Especially at that size screen, I bet that most...not all that say they see and amazing difference are full of crap. Just like the people that claim to hear the difference in $600 RCA cables.

That's why it would likely be in the Pro series

 

[Mr. Dee]

I'm continuing to take care of my iPhone X, still records great videos, access to the same iOS updates and apps. 2023 will be a great years to finally upgrade.

Just scroll through a bunch of thumbnails in the Photos app to see how horrible our current 60hz refresh rates truly are. It's like staring at a freaking strobe light. Personally it bugs the badoodles out of my eyes.

Then scroll through the photos app thumbnails with a 120hz display - it scrolls like ruby on rails. Way way better and way easier on the eyes

OK THANK YOU.​

I don't know what phones you've been using, the difference was instant to me.
There's plenty of comparisons out there that highlight the differences, scrolling is much much smoother, to the point where an iphone looks laggy compared to an android, which is hilarious considering some of the comments by some here.

If you can see the difference on a tablet, logically you'd expect a difference on a phone.

But yeah, stick with 60hz, but surely, for the price you pay, you'd want the best possible right?.

After throwing my iPhone into the sea a few weeks back I now use an Inphone. I admit it's quite old, but the fact it's still working is an utter joy. To my ears, the audio fidelity is pretty good as well. This one was made in Newport.

I'm sure I've used one of those before

 

[max.ine]

120hz? I’m still doing fine with my iPhone 7 Plus’ display. Sometimes wish I had a bit more resolution, but there still isn’t anything that’s made me want to upgrade... Maybe if they manage to get Touch ID in?

Who doesn't like a warm loaf of bread?

 

[noSpeed]

can't wait for 120hz game changer

Forgive my ignorance, but what exactly will a 120Hz refresh rate change?

Coeliacs despise warm bread.

Not much except maybe for games that can maintain anywhere close to 120fps. Scrolling won't make a difference, for example, like in Safari since it only uses 60Hz and scrolling speed is slowed down to give appearance of smoothness (sort of like vsync on) vs flickability.

lol yeah seriously it will be even smoother on oled than on iPad as well so I fail to see how one can’t tell the difference. Once people use 120hz they won’t be able to go back to 60hz

 

[matrix07]

Should make the iPhone 13 displays interesting to support 120Hz.

Would guess that it will appear in Apple Watch first.

 

[Bandaman]

And why the hell would you want to do that? Why would you want to have a less smooth phone?

I have no idea why anyone would hate this. It's the one feature I miss the most on Android is feeling like my display speed was dipped in butter.

even when scrolling through the Home Screen the iPhone does feel sluggish in comparison to the iPad and previous android devices.
