Apple could limit the AMOLED screen to a "Pro" model of the iPhone 8

Tired of rumors and speculation about the iPhone 7? Well, if that's not enough, let's talk about the iPhone 8, specifically its screen. Since people began to talk about the iPhone 7 and its continuous design, the iPhone 8 has been in the spotlight. Coinciding with the 10th anniversary of the Apple smartphone, the company would be determined to launch a completely renewed iPhone and with a different screen than the one it has been using until now, replacing LCD technology with AMOLED. But according to experts in the field it could be that this new screen will only come to a "Pro" model of the iPhone. The explanation? Following.

AMOLED screens have been with us for years, but their high manufacturing cost and the problems caused by their peculiar way of lighting have meant that few manufacturers have used them so far. Of the 1300 billion screens manufactured per year, only about 300 million use this technology. Apple has been against its use, because the colors were not real and the resolutions they offered were "false", but lhe improvements in AMOLED technology have made these screens today above conventional LCDs, even above the most "premium" LCDs, and most of its problems have largely been solved, so it seems that the jump to AMOLED technology for the next generation of iPhone is safe.

However, there is still a problem that can cause not all new iPhones to have this screen: few manufacturers produce AMOLED with enough quality to be in an iPhone, and Samsung, one of the best manufacturers, this year has had trouble meeting the existing demand. We are talking about the fact that every year more than 200 million iPhones are sold around the world, so suddenly Apple enters the market for AMOLED screens can be a serious problem that is difficult to solve.

It could be that Apple has taken so long to decide on this technology for its screens precisely because of this, and plans that in 2017 its suppliers will be able to cope with this high demand. But another alternative that specialists consider is that you only use this type of screen for a specific iPhone model, an iPhone they call "Pro" and that could well be the iPhone 8 Plus. Could Apple discriminate the 4,7-inch iPhone in this way? Although I find it hard to believe, it is not very far-fetched. The smartphone market has evolved to the point where a phone under 5 inches is hard to find, and Apple could continue to offer a small model like the SE for those who don't want such a big iPhone. Perhaps the 4,7-inch model will become the SE, or perhaps it will simply disappear, leaving only the 4 and 5,5-inch models, the latter being the one that would enjoy this new screen. That much time still to speculate on it.
