Apple would be testing ten iPhone 8 prototypes, including one with a curved screen

IPhone 8 concept

That Apple tests several different prototypes of the iPhone before deciding on the final design that it is going to release to the public is something we all know, Apple's own leaders have recognized, so it is no surprise what WSJ publishes today: Apple would currently be testing up to ten different iPhone 8 prototypes, and at least one of them would have a curved AMOLED screen. Will this be the definitive model to show us next year? We give you all the information below.

2017 seems to be definitely the year in which Apple decides to abandon conventional LCD screens, or rather, to start using AMOLEDs, because it is more than likely that both types of screen will coexist for at least a year. Con Samsung as the main supplier and Apple putting pressure on other suppliers such as LG, Sharp and Japan Display to improve their production rate and can cope with the high demand for screens that Apple estimates, it seems that in 2017 only one of the iPhone 8 models will have an AMOLED screen, and will coexist with two other "conventional" models with an LCD screen. That AMOLED model would be the top of the range and would have exclusive features, as well as a higher price.

The AMOLED screen, in addition to consuming less battery, are thinner and lighter, and allow curved screen designs, something that it seems that Apple will use to achieve a spectacular design with its next iPhone 8. After experimenting with the Apple Watch, which has an AMOLED screen since Its first generation, it seems that it is already determined to make the leap with the iPhone, to later pass that technology to the iPad and computers. Even though the information comes from a source like the Wall Street Journal Remember that he talks only about prototypes, and that last minute production problems could cause plans to change in the end, so we will continue to await the rumors that will undoubtedly continue to arrive with a dropper.
