Not to get off topic but yeah 3 years away, this article came out today.
In the mean time I can’t see Apple abandoning OLED in their flagship until a more affordable solution comes out with microOLED. And I can’t see them NOT providing a more economical solution for those not wanting all the bells and wistles of highest possible tech but also realizing there are those willing to pay for it that do.
So that’s my theory.....why I foresee two solutions of displays.
That Article is almost exactly what I just quoted to you previously that Apple is experimenting with micro LED and it will Be a few years out with the Apple First, I predict at least three years . However, It’s not a surprise, its been rumored for quite some time Apple has been experiencing with micro LED, especially given the acquisition I mentioned with Luxeview.
Per the article:
“As for when these new MicroLED displays will launch to consumers, today’s report says we’re still “a few years” away from that. Bloomberg says, however, that the Apple Watch will be the first to add the technology when the time comes. Apple reportedly just recently manufactured the first full functional MicroLED screens for the Apple Watch, though that’s just the beginning the process.”
That said, the Apple Watch would be the first Product, as it’s likely easier to manufacture a smaller display if micro LED quantities are limited due to supplier constraints. Once Micro LED does make its way to the iPhone, it will likely be similar to the iPhone X where it’s offered in just one model at first, again due
to supplier constraints.
So that’s my theory.....why I foresee two solutions of displays.
Of Course there will be two model displays offered, micro LED won’t be likely a level where they can be offered for every iPhone. OLED is just temporary for now
Micro Led is more efficient with battery life, higher-resolution displays and brighter. For example: Apple could offer an OLED for a low end model, where LCD is completely phased out and micro LED will be for the high-end model iPhone when the time is ready.
