All in the industry of producing smartphones that are closely linked. And sometimes the manufacturer of Android phones may be advantageous in the success of the next iPhone. Presumably, the iPhone 7 will use flexible OLED displays. Their supplier will become Samsung Display, and an agreement with, according to a new report, has already been achieved by Apple. In the framework of this transaction, Samsung will invest up to 7,47 billion in factories and equipment, to complete the order. It is expected that production will commence in the first quarter of 2016 and continue in 2017.
That this message was received from “industry insiders”, said in a published resource Android Authority note Chris Carlone (Kris Carlon) “iPhone 7 to feature flexible OLED display made by Samsung”. The value of the transaction is unknown. Presumably, the monthly production capacity will be from 30 to 45 thousand panels.
However, we should not forget that this information is not confirmed by the companies themselves, therefore belongs to the category of assumptions.
iPhone stand out against many other premium phones for their LCD displays. The first Apple device with a flexible OLED screen steel Apple watch. If their supplier Samsung? It is widely known that this company makes are the best on the market OLED-displays. It should be noted that in many of the iPhone components are made by Samsung, including the A9 processor.
Many Samsung is synonymous with Android devices. However, the company has done a lot and to iPhone have found their attractive technical characteristics. Because the position of Samsung in the smartphone market is not good, while the company’s business for the production of components is for her wonderful support.
Chips, displays and memory are the main sources that bring money to the company. Therefore, the alleged agreement to supply an additional component such popular devices as the iPhone, which Apple will be pleased during its upcoming fall presentations, for Samsung can be a very profitable line of business. After all, Apple is a very wealthy company whose products are very popular among consumers, and Samsung meanwhile doubled the lead in the AMOLED market.
Surprising if the fact that Samsung is ready to supply components for the company, which is considered to be its main competitor?
