One of the biggest expectations we have Blue Night (2024) Hindi Web Seriesfor the upcoming iPhone 8 is an edge-to-edge OLED screen—but if a new supply chain rumor is true, that's just the first step in Apple's master plan.
A recent report claims every iPhone model will adopt OLED screens by 2019, according an article in The Bellspotted by MacRumors. OLED technology requires less power than LCD displays and produces brighter colors.
If Apple does make a full-on move to OLED, LCD producers, some of which have been experimenting with more flexible designs to stay relevant in the increasingly curvy smartphone ecosystem, could be cut off from the iPhone entirely.
Apple will make 60 million iPhone 8 units with OLED displays this year—about 40 percent of their 2017 production overall, according to the report. They'll double that next year, when presumably one lower-tier version of the iPhone will stick with an LCD display, and OLED will ultimately become the standard across all iPhone lines in 2019.
A few new iPhones are supposedly coming this year: The aforementioned iPhone 8 with OLED, and iPhone 7S and 7S Plus units that will retain LCD displays and serve as incremental updates to last year's 7 model.
Meanwhile, the iPhone 8 could be chock full of updates like the OLED display, some sort of new sensor system, a function area embedded into the screen to replace the home button for Touch ID, and wireless charging. All those updates could push the phone's cost above $1,000, though -- so the 7S and 7S Plus could still have their fair share of fans.
