iPhone 7S it must be memorable from all points of view, and one of the changes that the Apple company wants to implement in its future smartphone is a OLED screen which many people have been waiting for years and years.
Corroborating various rumors that have appeared recently, a manufacturer of equipment necessary for the production of OLED screens claims that many manufacturers of screens for mobile terminals have begun to equip their factories with production machines for this type of components.
Applied Materials Inc. is the company in question, and according to it, in Q2 2016 it sold as many cars of this type as in a whole year, the buyers' rush being to have the factories ready for 2017 when Apple intends to launch an iPhone 7S with a screen OLED.
It takes 9 months for a factory to be equipped and ready to produce OLED screens, and Apple's partners are preparing ahead of time to be able to collect billions upon billions of dollars from those in Cupertino for these components.
The first evidence came last week when Applied Materials Inc. reported an almost fourfold leap in orders for equipment to make displays, an early sign producers are retooling their manufacturing to meet Apple's demand for a new kind of organic light-emitting diode, or OLED, screen.
Apple needs OLED screens in very large quantities for 2017, i.e. tens of millions of components every month, so preparations must start a year before production is initiated because many Apple partners must make massive investments to- and prepare the factories.
From Samsung to Innotek, a multitude of companies will compete to receive orders from Apple, or from other mobile terminal manufacturers, to manufacture OLED screens, and in the coming months we will learn more details about this process.
