iPhone 8 it is going to include an OLED screen with which the Apple company hopes to change a lot in terms of customer perception vis-à-vis its smartphones. Moreover, the Apple company wants to offer a new design for the iPhone 8, so that an OLED screen could allow changing the total appearance of the terminal, offering better performance.
The purchase of OLED screens for the iPhone 8 could still be the biggest problem for the Apple company, and this is because the production is extremely limited. Samsung is the largest manufacturer of OLED screens, and the iPhone 8 will initially only have screens from Koreans, but in very limited quantities, according to some information coming today directly from Asia.
More precisely, it seems that Apple's intentions to use OLED screens in the iPhone 8 motivates various Chinese manufacturers to do the same, so the production will be divided. The Apple company will have to fight with them to buy OLED screens to be integrated in the iPhone 8, and this would substantially increase the price at which it will buy these components.
iPhone 8 – Apple will have problems with OLED screens
Considering that the production of OLED screens will be limited and the Chinese will want to take advantage of Apple's money to increase their profits, the iPhone 8 will be sold in limited quantities. Samsung plans to increase its production of OLED screens, so does Foxconn, but neither will be able to produce enough to meet the iPhone 8 demand.
"Inspired by market rumors indicating that Apple will adopt OLED panels for its next generation iPhone devices in 2017, China-based smartphone vendors, and others alike, have rushed to secure production capacity for small- and mid-size OLED panels, a move which will definitely cause a shortage in OLED panel supplies in 2017, commented the sources."
Considering that until now Apple only buys OLED screens, few have invested in the production of OLED screens, and the iPhone 8 will have a major problem right from the launch. Many will invest in the production of OLED screens for smartphones, but no one will have lines ready before the iPhone 8 is officially launched by Apple.
In this idea, Apple will have big problems in procuring the necessary quantities of OLED screens for the iPhone 8, so it will be interesting to see how it will try to fill the gaps.
