Xa phantse inyanga enesiqingatha sele idlulile ekubeni i-iPhone 7 entsha ithe yathengiswa, amahemuhemu ajikeleze i-iPhone 8 okanye isikhumbuzo seshumi (siya kubona ukuba i-Apple ibiza ntoni) Sele beqalile ukujikeleza. Uninzi lwazo lukhomba kwakhona, phantse minyaka le, kwi-terminal enesikrini esigubungela phantse yonke into engaphambili yesixhobo, idibanisa inzwa yeminwe ngaphakathi ukuze iqhosha lasekhaya lasekhaya elihamba nathi ukusuka kwi-iPhone yokuqala linyamalale ngokupheleleyo. Enye i-rumor enxulumene nesikrini kukuba i-Apple ekugqibeleni iya kusebenzisa isikrini se-OLED, ishiya i-LCDs, nangona iphucule umgangatho iseyiteknoloji enokuphuculwa.
Kwiintsuku ezimbalwa ezidlulileyo sathetha ngamahemuhemu okuba i-Sharp, ngoku esezandleni zikaFoxconn, inokuthatha indawo yokwenziwa kwezikrini ze-OLED ezintsha ze-iPhone okanye i-iPhone 8. Ngoku amahemuhemu amatsha avela ekukhanyeni athi i-Apple It is. akucaci ukuba ngubani onokuthi alawule inkqubo yokwenziwa kwezi zikrini, ekubeni tYonke into ibonisa ukuba zombini i-Samsung kunye ne-LG balwela ukuba ngumthengisi yolu hlobo lwezikrini ezinobuchwepheshe be-OLED.
Ngokuchanekileyo Isamsung ngumenzi wesikrini sokuchukumisa i-OLED, ebizwa ngokuba yiTouch Bar yeMacBook Pro entsha. Ukongeza, i-Apple ivavanya izikrini ze-OLED zefemu yaseKorea ukuziphumeza kwiimodeli zeMacBook ezizayo. Ezi ntshukumo zibonakala zibonisa ukuba i-Samsung inokhetho oluninzi lokuthatha umsebenzi wokwenza izikrini ze-OLED zexesha elizayo zee-iPhones ezintsha, izikrini ezinikezela ngemibala ekufutshane nenyani kwaye okwangoku zisetyenziswa kuphela kwi-Apple Watch kunye nakwiBar iimodeli ezintsha zeMacBook Pro.
