Some users who don’t own Apple smartphone yet wonder ‘Does iPhone have OLED screen?’ The answer is ‘no’ as all current iOS handsets arrive with LCD panels. While many customers and experts hope that such a screen would arrive as soon as possible this cannot happen in 2016.
According to rumors and predictions, OLED display iPhone option could arrive not even in 2017. There is another possible release date mention and it is in 2018. The famous Cupertino-based giant is already preparing for possible OLED displays and working together with Japanese company Japan Display.
Current LCD panel wouldn’t rule forever. One day Apple will offer an alternative and since Apple works with several manufactures it can easily one day switch to OLED screens created by Samsung or Japan Display. The new panels could become available along with iPhone 8 or iPhone 9.
This is another puzzle offered by Apple. You know that this company is always secret about its future gadgets. This year we’ve heard about possible iPhone 6c launch in spring 2016. We have already read that Apple could unveil both iPhone 6c and iPhone 7 or colorful small iPhone 7c right before the bigger iPhone 7 presentation in the fall 2016. That’s why it’s hard to name the model that could finally get OLED display.
Current rumors suggest the Japan Display is testing its new production line that could make OLED panels for next generation iPhones. Mass production could be expected in 2018 or possibly earlier since the 2015 models of Apple Watch are using OLED screens.
