What are the chances that the iPhone 8 will have a 4K display ? And what if it's only 1080p AMOLED

It won't be 4K that for sure best bet is 2K but this is Apple so don't be surprised if it comes with a 1080p OLED display, which tbh is more than enough due to pixel count & less taxing on both cpu/gpu & battery.
4K screen on such a tinny device is nonsense...
The cost of a higher resolution comes at the expense of battery life and FPS, and the noticeable improvements in display quality after 350+ PPI really drop off quickly.
Doubt Apple's gunna do that.

Your posts are "something".
Would be stupid to have such high resolution on a screen that small. A waste of battery and CPU power.
You will likely be paying over $999 anyway. The 8 will not be cheap.
This is the most vague poll ever. What am I answering Yes or NO to?
1080p is fine for a screen that small, any visual gains beyond that are a secondary concern to battery drain.
I'm sure this will change when battery tech improves.

True, but the question was made clear in OP's actual post, rather than the title/poll heading.
I answered NO. I understand 4K would be overkill, etc. However, merely 1080P won't cut it, either.
500 PPI+ or bust.
Agreed. I like the screen as it is now, and probably wouldn't notice any improvement.
Do we really need 4K on such a small device. My iPhone 7 Plus has the same screen resolution as the 48inch TV in my living room and even that still looks great to me at 1080p. I think it's only spec enthusiasts who enjoy bragging rights that are bothered by screen resolution at this stage.
I'd take a genuinely new innovative idea over an unneeded resolution bump any day.
