IPhone8 next year will replace the OLED screen, there is even a similar to the samsung curved surface design, it will be one of the biggest changes since the beginning of the iPhone screen, but probably, apple wanted more.

Apple suppliers gen photoelectric (Innolux) is considered one of the group, for reasons of cost performance, reliability, apple is unlikely to fully replace the long-term use of OLED LCD.

In fact, the Micro - may have is the apples at the top of LED technology, will eventually replace the LCD has become the mainstream in the future the display standard.

Apple bought 2014 specializes in low power consumption Micro - LuxVue company of LED display technology research and development. This is a very small LED display, do not need a backlight module and OLED is same, can reduce power consumption, increase brightness, improving resolution, but for mobile phones, tablet large Micro - LED screen production also is very difficult and high cost.
