The DigiTimes edition reports that Apple develops its smartphone with a flexible screen (simply speaking, clamshell). And it helps her in this company LG Display, which has not happened to make his smartphone with a flexible screen. And in general, it was not enough to hear about flexible technologies from LG Display. But the company is still experienced, so she has its own solutions.
And it is the LG Display that will be the main supplier of OLED panels for apple clamshells. Previously, sources were logically assumed that Samsung Display will be responsible for supply, which has already been podnatar in the production of such screens. But after all, Samsung Display alone will not cope with such volumes, so you need to connect the rest. It is absolutely confident that if such a smartphone from Apple comes out, it will be unproybly expensive, extremely popular, and then it turns out that the apple company and other manufacturers will attract the production of flexible OLED screens. And then there are already connected all in a row, including Boe, and Tianma, and so on.
As for information about the smartphone itself, it is not known to really know. Someone says one thing, someone else. The screen here will be either 7.3 inches or 7.6 inches. And the stylus even want to do. And the design of the hinge will be unique, which will be hidden inside the device case, and will not hang out the outwards, like clamshells from Samsung. And even dust inside will not be, because the design was thought out better.
The protection of the tender OLED panel will answer some new durable ceramic glass, which has passed chemical treatment and is generally very reliable there. And it will not break with bending, and there will be no irregularities on the screen. Still, it seems to us that the fold on the Apple screen will not be formed. After all, everything should be perfect.
As for the price tag, for some reason, the sources are confident that the folding iPhone will cost in the area of 1,500 dollars. Apparently the guys are confused and forget that it is all from Apple. And everything will be more expensive. Much more expensive.
