Ukuthi i-Apple ivivinya izinhlobo ezahlukahlukene ze-iPhone ngaphambi kokuthatha isinqumo ngomklamo wokugcina ozokwethulwa emphakathini yinto sonke esiyaziyo, abaholi baka-Apple uqobo bayakuqonda, ngakho-ke akumangazi ukuthi iWSJ ishicilela ini namuhla: I-Apple okwamanje izovivinya izinhlobo eziyishumi ezihlukile ze-iPhone 8, futhi okungenani eyodwa yazo ingaba nesikrini esigobile se-AMOLED. Ngabe le kuzoba yimodeli eqondile yokusikhombisa unyaka ozayo? Sikunikeza lonke ulwazi olungezansi.
U-2017 ubukeka ungunyaka lapho i-Apple ithatha isinqumo sokushiya izikrini ezijwayelekile ze-LCD, noma kunalokho, ukuqala ukusebenzisa ama-AMOLED, ngoba kungenzeka ukuthi zombili lezi zinhlobo zesikrini zizohlala okungenani unyaka. Cku-Samsung njengomhlinzeki omkhulu ne-Apple efaka ingcindezi kwabanye abahlinzeki abanjengo-LG, Sharp kanye neJapan Display ukwenza ngcono izinga lokukhiqiza futhi ikwazi ukubhekana nokufunwa okuphezulu kwezikrini okulinganiselwa yi-Apple, kubonakala sengathi ngo-2017 yinye kuphela yezinhlobo ze-iPhone 8 ezoba nesikrini se-AMOLED, futhi izohlala nezinye izinhlobo ezimbili "ezivamile" ezinesikrini se-LCD. Leyo modeli ye-AMOLED izoba phezulu ebangeni futhi ibe nezici ezikhethekile, kanye nentengo ephezulu.
Isikrini se-AMOLED, ngaphezu kokudla ibhethri elincane, sinciphile futhi silula, futhi sivumela ukwakheka kwesikrini okugobile, into i-Apple ebonakala iyisebenzisa ukufeza ukwakheka okumangazayo nge-iPhone yayo elandelayo ye-8. Ngemuva kokuzama i-Apple Watch, ene-AMOLED screen selokhu kwaqala isizukulwane saso, kubukeka sengathi sesivele sizimisele ukwenza ukweqa nge-iPhone, ukuze kamuva sidlulisele lobo buchwepheshe ku-iPad nakumakhompyutha. Noma imininingwane ivela kumthombo ofana neWall Street Journal Khumbula ukuthi ukhuluma kuphela ngama-prototypes, nokuthi izinkinga zomkhiqizo wokugcina zingadala ukuthi izinhlelo ziguquke ekugcineni, ngakho-ke sizoqhubeka nokulinda amahlebezi okungangabazeki ukuthi azoqhubeka nokufika nodonsa.
