One of the pieces of hardware that has brought the most controversy in the iPhone X is precisely the most relevant novelty, its screen. The submission of Apple to the power of Samsung in this area makes the price of this element more expensive for the Cupertino company, which is why it has been looking for a more affordable alternative all year. Near the new launch, analysts again point to LG as the manufacturer of the screens of the future iPhone with OLED technology in order to contain the price as much as possible and make it more attractive to the consumer. It is not the first time that we read about this topic, nor about precisely the opposite.
The theoretical reason why Apple continues to cling to Samsung in this regard is that the only firm capable of competing on a quality level is LG (being slightly lower than the quality offered by Samsung), but there is a more relevant problem in this matter, logistics. The other South Korean firm (LG) is not able to provide enough material quickly and in quantity to dispose of the huge amount of iPhones that are sold with each launch, even for the iPhone X, which many have cataloged as the least-selling iPhone in history, something that I am quite skeptical about. Has been the medium South China Morning Post who has shared this information throughout yesterday afternoon.
In theory, of the three iPhone models that will be available from September, two will have OLED screens and different sizes, and the other will have an LCD panel. such as the one that mounts for example the iPhone 8, despite that, they will adopt the same form of screen and appearance as the current iPhone X with the intention of finishing popularizing the facial scan system as a security mechanism. LG Display will thus provide between two and four million panels initially while expanding production capacity. It is an obvious fact that if Apple wants to stop nurturing Samsung with its products, it must cut the relationship entirely, despite the fact that Samsung appears not to be the most direct rival this past year.
