That means the screen doesn’t need a backlight, saving power. Unlike conventional LCD panels, the pixels on an OLED screen produce their own light. It’s a widely accepted theory, having been reported by the likes of The Korea Herald, Nikkei, Bloomberg, the Wall Street Journal, and even Tai Jeng-wu, President of Sharp. Screen: The big news this year is that Apple is expected to finally introduce OLED displays on the iPhone. Tip website Slashleaks also posted its own iPhone 8 schematic, which appears to showcase a vertically stacked dual-camera module, as well as the all-screen front we've been hearing about: If it isn't able to fix the problems in that time frame, Apple may be forced to eliminate fingerprint sensing from the OLED iPhone altogether."ĭespite Hargreaves' suggestion, however, reputable Apple tipster Sonny Dickson recently posted a claimed iPhone 8 schematic that appears to show the Touch ID fingerprint sensor moving to the back of the phone, as is the case in the Samsung Galaxy S8: He continued: "This would likely lead to a delay of the OLED iPhone launch, but we wouldn't expect it to meaningfully affect volume for the cycle.
If it's able to solve the problems in the next month or so, it would likely place volume orders at that point." We believe Apple continues to work on solving its optical fingerprint issues. "Likely options for Apple include a delay of production or elimination of fingerprint sensing on the OLED iPhone. However, analyst Andy Hargreaves claims that Apple is struggling to introduce an optical fingerprint sensor into the display, which could lead to Touch ID being scrapped completely: Then in September 2016, the New York Times wrote: “Next year’s iPhone will have a full-screen face with the virtual button built directly into the screen." We've also seen the following image from Weibo (via Slashleaks) that shows possible sizing for the three phones – these are apparent moulds for the iPhone 7S, iPhone 7S Plus, and iPhone 8: In August 2016, a report from Bloomberg written by long-time Apple leaker Mark Gurman reads: “Apple is already at work on a major redesign of the iPhone for 2017 that focuses more heavily on the display by removing the Home button.” There are some rumours that suggest we'll see a curved screen on the most premium iPhone 8 model, but there's no clear consensus among leakers and analysts that this will be the case. This will almost certainly require the removal of the Home button from the front of the phone in order to slim down the handset’s bezel. The thinking is that you’ll be able to fit a 5.5-inch screen (like the iPhone 7 Plus) in the form factor of a 4.7-inch iPhone (like the iPhone 7). LG has already debuted such a design for the LG G6, and the Samsung Galaxy S8 followed suit later in 2017.
That ratio describes how much of the phone’s front is occupied by display, and having an all-screen front appears to be a big trend in smartphones. The biggest change we’re expecting to see from the iPhone 8 is a huge ramping up of the handset’s screen-to-body ratio. Games released during the last three months (if any) are marked with a symbol.
