According to an analysis made for the financial documentation submitted by Apple to the authorities, those from Cupertino are making massive investments in the purchase of OLEd screens.
Specifically, Apple will buy $4 billion worth of OLED screens from Samsung next year, and here we are clearly talking about screens for the iPhone 8. Although Apple uses OLED screens in the Apple Watch and the Touch Bar in the MacBook Pro, for none of the products need to be purchased in such large quantities in the next year.
Samsung is the largest manufacturer of OLED screens, and now there have been many rumors suggesting that Apple will buy components from the Koreans. For the iPhone 8, this seems certain, and Samsung could be just one of the suppliers chosen by the Apple company to manufacture the future iPhone model during 2017.
iPhone 8 has an OLED screen, Apple officially confirms
The information was discovered by those from JP Morgan, so we are talking about information that has support based on the reputation of the analysts of this financial institution. Considering the numerous rumors regarding the implementation of an OLED screen in the iPhone 8, we now have a first official confirmation, directly from the Apple company.
It was expected that Apple would switch to OLED screens starting with the iPhone 8, and the 4 billion dollars allocated for these purchases from Samsung next year will be only a part of the total. Apple will most likely buy OLED screens from Samsung's competitors to be able to manufacture enough iPhone terminals to cover the demand on global markets.
In the coming months we will see more and more confirmations of the fact that Apple will use OLED screens in the iPhone 8, the first of them coming even from the president of Sharp, a company owned by Foxconn, which assembles most of the iPhone terminals.
