We continue with the rumors and the problems around the OLED screen of the iPhone that will be launched at the end of this year 2017. The elements that make up the hardware of this iPhone to which we refer would have catapulted the price to at least 1.000 euros according to analysts , the barrier of this price in the entry model has never been exceeded until now, in fact, Samsung and its spectacular Galaxy S8 have continued to remain below this year. Definitely, Another cost that would justify the price increase would be the OLED screen, accompanied by a 150% increase in the cost of 3D Touch hardware for this type of technology.
According to Economic Daily News, Apple is paying 150% more for the 3D Touch that it is going to install in this iPhone of 2017 compared to the 3D Touch that it is implementing in models with an LDC panel such as the iPhone 6s, the iPhone 7 and the future iPhone 7s. According to analysts, It is costing Apple to manufacture the 3D Touch panel between $ 7 and $ 9 per device, while from now on the module would cost between $ 18 and $ 22 per device, an increase that does not seem excessive but that will be impacted on the final price without any other remedy.
Apparently systems that detect pressure are much more complex in OLED panels because they are more fragile, so they should be made simpler and more resistant, unlike those that are currently being implemented in the iPhone 6s and 7, of which we have a more than proven resistance. The analyst Ming-Chi Kuo He was one of the first to tell us about this more than necessary price increase. In the meantime, we'll have to keep waiting until at least July to start seeing the first scraps of what will be the iPhone of 2017.
What is 3D touch? Does anyone use it? Does anyone remember what is that?
That you do not use it does not mean that it is not used. I particularly use it a lot, from the lock screen to emails, links, whatsapp, etc.
It seems that Apple has problems with OLED screens everywhere, if it is not the touchID or the manufacture of these now it is the 3Dtouch that happens when you do not dedicate time to research the technology, they had years to test the technology and solve the iPhone component problems, now if Apple does not want headaches, it should consider OLED microdisplay screens right now, which are much better, have more benefits and save a lot of energy etc ...
