A part of the iPhone X that caused problems for Apple for its distribution and sale it was definitely the new OLED screen. It is true that the sensor for the Face ID seems to have taken most of the blame for the delays, but the screen is also one of those responsible and seeing this the guys from Cupertino have already got down to work so that it does not return. to pass.
Component orders for the new iPhone models are already on the table and it seems that we are at that point where any data can be important to know part of the new model of the brand. The screen and the different sizes that have been rumored for this new iPhone is one of the important parts and DigiTimes releases its leaks on this essential part of the device.
Apparently the company has already asked between 250 and 270 million paneles for its new iPhone models this year, at first more than half of them will be OLED, but the data is very green in this sense and DigiTimes, does not clarify this point too much, also adds a «iPhone of 5,9 inches "when the current one is 5,8" and it is somewhat strange:
Apple will buy 110-130 million units of OLED panels in 2018, including 70-80 million "5,9-inch" units for the current iPhone X and an upgraded version of the same size. The remainder will be 40-50 million 6,5 inches for the production of a cheaper iPhone
The possible error is in the measurements of the supposed 5,9-inch iPhone or we can think that Apple has in hand to launch an iPhone with another type of LCD screen of that size, but we would be very surprised by this 1-inch change. It would be without a doubt something strange but not impossible, although currently rumors speak of a screen of 5,8-inch OLED, one 6,5-inch OLED, and one full-size LCD, we will see what it is all about.
Various panel providers
LG and Samsung would be in charge of OLED screens and LG Display and Sharp, they are in the spotlight for LCD models. All this is still rumor and there is nothing officially confirmed, it is also something early to know exactly the suppliers of screens and what will be the percentage of each in these new models.
