We continue with the rumor mill regarding the alleged iPhone that will be launched at the end of the year commemorating the XNUMXth anniversary of the most popular smartphone of all time. And it is that a feature that users have been demanding since the arrival of the iPhone 6, is precisely the addition of an OLED panel That stands up to the great results offered by those present in the competition such as the Samsung Galaxy and even the Apple Watch itself.
However, Apple is still keeping a close eye on the little progress of LCD panels and is including them to this day in all its devices with excellent performance. On the other hand, the company's latest move seems to make its intentions clear, Apple wants LG to manufacture OLED screens exclusively and for this it has given it a good sum of money.
More specifically the sum amounts to a considerable 2.700 billion dollars, which would give Apple not only a preference, but an exclusivity in the face of LG panels with OLED technology. Of course, we do not know to what extent, especially considering that mobile devices such as the LG G6, to which are added fantastic televisions, use screens with OLED technology from the South Korean firm itself.
Samsung currently rules the market for OLED panels, More specifically, it produces 95% of the total, which makes it the holder of the monopoly, however, the OLED technology of the other South Korean firm (LG) is not exactly worse than that of its competition, they use different systems, but both grant a exceptional quality. It is time for Apple to consider giving the step to OLED technology in its panels, thus saving on battery and offering functionalities such as always-on. Yes, everything indicates that we will see an iPhone with an OLED panel soon.
There are several errors in the article, perhaps due to misinformation.
In the first place: LG firmly governs the manufacture of OLEDs panels in the world of televisions, to the point that prestigious firms such as Sony and Philips, in their most pretentious televisions, mount OLEDs panels manufactured by LG. Oh, and the G6 screen is not OLED, it is a very good quality IPS LCD by the way.
Second: Samsung dominates the mobile market in the manufacture of OLED screens using its well-known AMOLED. Technology that uses a matrix that has nothing to do with the matrix used in OLED panels for televisions or monitors. It is curious, but Samsung does not bet on OLED for the screen of its own televisions or monitors, for something will be. The latest high-end TVs from Samsung launched in 2017 use Quantum Dot, which is an improvement on the LCD. It supposedly combines the best of the two technologies, but for others it still does not reach the level of the best OLED screens.
Lastly: large companies, with highly engineering departments such as Apple, Qualcomm, Sony, LG, Samsung, etc; They do not go around buying parts in warehouses, or the one that is left over from this or that manufacturer. They are mainly designers, if it is not in their ability to manufacture the component designed by themselves or they do not have factories for that, then they hire highly specialized services such as TSMC, Japan Display, Sony, Samsung, Toshiba, LG, etc; so that it executes the task under the specifications given by the designer. Apple does not manufacture IPS LCD panels, but the high-quality ones that it distributes in its computers are manufactured under the specifications that they request.
