Ukusukela ekufikeni kwe-iPhone yokuqala kwimarike, idabi phakathi kwe-Apple kunye ne-Samsung ligxile kakhulu kwiinkundla njengakwintengiso yesixhobo, ukushiya ecaleni izivumelwano zorhwebo apho amaKorea ahlala ebonelela ngezinto ezahlukeneyo ze-iPhone, ezinje ngeeprosesa, iichips zememori...
Ukusukela oko amahemuhemu aqala malunga nokuba kungenzeka ukuba inkampani esekwe kwiCupertino ekugqibeleni iphumeze izikrini ze-OLED kwiimodeli ezizayo, kukho amahemuhemu amaninzi esiwapapashe apho. Abavelisi abohlukeneyo baya kuba noxanduva lokwenza izikrini.
Ekuqaleni bekunamarhe okuba i-LG kunye ne-Samsung baya kuba noxanduva ngokulinganayo lokuzenza. Kungekudala emva kokuthengwa kwe-Foxconn ye-Sharp, amahemuhemu acebisa ukuba i-Apple iya kuodola ngokuthe ngqo izikrini kumvelisi wezixhobo ze-Apple, iFoxconn. Amarhe amva nje Babonakala bebonisa ukuba iya kuba yi-Samsung eya kuba ngumphathi wokuvelisa inxalenye ebalulekileyo yezi panel, ngesizathu yinkampani esebenza ngolu hlobo lwemveliso ixesha elide.
Ngokutsho kweDigitimes, inkampani yaseKorea iya kuthumela iiphaneli ze-OLED ezizigidi ezingama-40 zokwenziwa kwe-iPhone 8, imodeli yokuqala yokubetha imarike ngolu hlobo lwesikrini kwaye ngokuhambelana namahemuhemu amva nje aya kufika kunyaka ozayo, endaweni ye-iPhone 7s. Bakwaqinisekisa ukuba nyaka ngamnye imveliso ye-Samsung iya kwanda ide ivelise izikrini ze-OLED ezizigidi ezili-120 ngo-2019.
Into ebonakala icacile kukuba I-Samsung ayiyi kuba yodwa ephetheyo ekwenzeni olu hlobo lwezikrini, kwaye i-Apple iya kufuneka ithembele kwezinye iinkampani ezifana ne-LG okanye i-Sharp yangaphambili ngoku ephethe i-Foxconn. Into esingayaziyo kukukwazi kwazo zombini iinkampani ukuvelisa ezi ntlobo zamacandelo. Kufuneka kuthathelwe ingqalelo ukuba i-LG inomgca weefowuni ezisebenzisa le teknoloji kwaye ayiyi kushiya yonke into ukuze isebenze i-Apple.
