Kunezinqumo ezibonakala zilula kepha ezinemiphumela eminingi ngemuva esingazazi thina, futhi ushintsho lwesikrini i-Apple cishe lonke oluzoqala nge-iPhone 8 yayo entsha luzoba nemiphumela ebalulekile edlulela ngale kwenkampani uqobo. Ngokwezibalo zeDigitimes, i-Apple izodinga izikrini ezingama-75 million ze-OLED ezenziwe yiSamsung ngonyaka we-2017, ezizobala u-15% womkhiqizo ophelele walolu hlobo lwezikrini kulo nyaka. Ngabe kubonakala kukuncane? Ngokuphambene nalokho, njengoba sinemininingwane engezansi,
I-Apple izokwethula kuphela imodeli eyodwa kulo nyaka ngesikrini se-OLED, ngoba i-iPhone 7s ne-7s Plus ezobe ihamba nayo izofaka izikrini ze-LCD. I-iPhone 8, noma ngabe yini ebizwa ngayo, kuzoba ukuphela kwayo ezoba nalolu hlobo lwesikrini futhi mhlawumbe izothengiswa ngo-Okthoba, okungukuthi, Ezinyangeni ezintathu zokugcina zika-2017 kuphela, kuzobalwa u-15% womkhiqizo womhlaba walo nyaka. Uzodinga amayunithi amangaki unyaka wonke? Futhi lapho wonke amamodeli we-iPhone enalolu hlobo lwesikrini?
Besilokhu sizibuza iminyaka ukuthi kungani i-Apple ingashintshi izikrini ze-OLED, eyonga amandla kakhulu futhi enokulinganisa okungcono okungcono. Kunemikhiqizo embalwa kakhulu ekwaziyo ukukhiqiza lolu hlobo lwesikrini ngekhwalithi eyenele ukuze ikwazi ukuba ku-iPhone, empeleni iSamsung kubonakala sengathi yiyona ezokhiqiza kulo nyaka kuphela, kuze kube yilapho abanye abakhiqizi bekwazi ukukhiqiza bona bahlangabezana ngezinga elikhulu nenqubo yekhwalithi ye-Apple. ISamsung uqobo izobala ngaphezu kuka-50% wesikrini se-OLED esikhiqizwe kulo nyaka ngoba isivele inamamodeli amaningana athengiswayo ngalolu hlobo lwesikrini. Kusele malini kwabanye? Akumangazi ukuthi yonke eminye imikhiqizo isibheka isinqumo sika-Apple ngokungabaza, ngoba phakathi komkhiqizo waseMelika ne-Samsung yaseKorea bangashiya lolu hlobo lwezikrini kwabanye.
