Edge to edge displays don't wow me...I'm eager for OLED though.
But word is still out whether the 4.7" will get it???

Looks nice and clear, with accurate colors. Would be a great display.
My prediction:
Today was an off year. Lots of 'placeholder' designs and upgrades (7,7+,SE).
Next year we'll see all three sizes with the new display and form factor.

your picture does not show the chin of the phone.
So your prediction is the same as everyone else's prediction that they announced a year ago
I don't think that technology is ready to be mass produced for 100 million phones.
I think that is a very low yield panel today. It will take considerable engineering effort to make them in volume defect free, just like the flexible displays and the curved edge displays have taken time.
I don't expect this on the next iPhone whether that is the 7S or 8. Maybe the year after.

Kind of like the example that's included in the MacRumor's iPhone 8 Roundup at https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-8/
Except that's fake, a mockup. The image in the original post could be the actual display minus the bottom chin, so it's cool to imagine what it could be.Kind of like the example that's included in the MacRumor's iPhone 8 Roundup at https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-8/

Does anyone know if an oled display is naturally over saturated or is that just how companies tune those displays because they can?
if apple can cover the whole front glass in OLED, it's gonna be beautiful
With side bezels being virtually non-existant, how do you grip the sides of the phone?
I'm all for reducing the top and bottom bezels, but I'm not eager to lose the side bezels as they help prevent accidental touches/commands/gestures et cetera.

I change my form factor by putting a case on my phone. That's as much as the form factor is really worth.
Sure it's been thought of, iOS already has this tech in the OS and I'm sure will be enhanced for edge to edge
I'm no expert on display technology, but how would that even work? A relative of mine has the S7 Edge and complains that he accidentally presses the sides of the phone quite often.
Palm rejection á la iPad Pro with the Pencil? How would the edges differentiate between what you accidentally press and whats intentional? As I said I'm no pro, but I'm genuinely interested. I just don't see edge to edge working flawlessly for at least a few years to come.
Its how theyre tuned. If you go into the display settings on a samsung phone, you can change the display mode to "basic" which is accurate colors, "photo", which is slightly saturated, "cinema" which is very saturated, or "adaptive" which changes the saturation depending on what your viewing.
I have mine set to "photo".
Not sure whether apple are leaking rumours for marketing purposes or these screens are really two years away on 4.7inch phones. I can only see apple getting more frigid with release from a business sense anyway
IIRC it was supposed to be release this year. But pushed an additional year. I'm sure it's been going through testing for at least two years
