Down the road, Apple could turn to MicroLEDs too, which may solve some of the inherent shortcomings (such as durability) of current OLED technology. So, it's reasonable to expect more OLED iPhone models in the near term, though Apple likely won't abandon LCDs, as manufacturers (such as Japan Display) step up their game. LG Display is now ready to enter the OLED fray in a big way (and will likely be a future Apple supplier) and other manufacturers, such as Japan Display, may also become suppliers. So, it's been leading the way with the Galaxy Note 8 and Galaxy S9 Plus, which have large 6.3- and 6.2-inch OLED displays respectively.īut the dynamics are changing. The South Korean electronics company to date has had a stranglehold on smartphone OLED displays. And the 6.1-inch mid-range iPhone (LCD) would slot in at $799.Ĭonclusion: In displays, Apple is playing catch up to Samsung. Price: RBC Capital Markets analyst Amit Daryanani said in a research note in March that the next iPhone X will be priced at $899 and the upcoming iPhone X Plus at $999 - the same as the current iPhone X. In fact, for many, a phone that large would obviate the need for an iPad. A massive-screen iPhone X Plus would fit that bill. For instance, I would like to have a stand-in for my 10.5-inch iPad Pro. The 6.5-inch X Plus wouldn't have that shortcoming*, making it Apple's first massively-big-screen smartphone.īesides, bigger-is-better is a truism for smartphone displays. The reason: the X is just a 4.7-inch iPhone 8 stretched vertically (see Apple's Human Interface Guidelines). If you've been using iPhone Plus models over the past few years (as I have), you quickly notice that the "smaller" 5.5-inch display on the 8 Plus is actually bigger (wider) than the X's 5.8-inch display - which becomes especially clear when watching videos.
