iPhone 9 to come in 5.28" and 6.46" sizes, both with OLED screens, rumor claims
No, the title
doesn't contain a typo. No, the iPhone 8 hasn't magically become official
already. Still, the rumor mill has considered that it's time to move on from
discussing Apple's tenth anniversary smartphone. So, just for today, let's talk
about the iPhone 9. The one that will come in 2018.
Apparently this
will be offered in two sizes, both sporting much bigger touchscreens than we've
gotten used to. The small iPhone 9 will come with a 5.28" display, while
the larger model will accommodate a 6.46" panel.
In both cases, the screen tech used will be
OLED, and the supplier of the panels will be none other than Samsung. The
Korean company expects to sell at least 180 million units to Apple for this
purpose. That's more than double the estimated 80 million OLED displays that
it's producing for the iPhone 8, which should launch this fall.
Of course this is but an unconfirmed rumor
for now, so don't take it too seriously. We'll have to wait and see whether
other reports will corroborate what it claims.
This year Apple is said to release three new
iPhone models, two successors for the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus (with the same screen
sizes and LCD panels), and a new size device that will feature the Samsung-made
OLED screens. According to "some sources", the Korean company is
planning to build a new factory that will be dedicated to exclusively churning
out OLED panels for Apple.
