Apple is working on borderless 5-inch iPhone 8 and 5.8-inc iPhone 8 Plus – TechTastic

The expectation is that Apple in 2017 with a completely new design for the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus. According to Barclays Research analysts Blayne Curtis, Christopher Hemmelgarn, Thomas O’malley, and Jerry Zhang the company two variants of the iPhone 8, the a with a seamless 5-inch and the other with a 5.8-inch screen.

The four bases their information on sources in the supply chain of Apple. The analysts have in the recent period, Asia visited and in their recent report is to read that new iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus, both are equipped with a larger screen, however, the borderless screen, ensure that the format of the body virtually unchanged.

iPhone 8 Plus with oled screen?

In the report, analysts expect that only the 5.8-inch iPhone 8 Plus will be equipped with an oled screen. This technology provides a much higher contrast and infinite zwartwaarden, because the panel pixels can individually turn off and does not use a backlight, as the lcd screens of the current iPhones.

The Japanese Nikkei claims, however, that this premium variant is offered in addition to a 4.7-inch iPhone 8 and a 5.5-inch iPhone 8 Plus.

We suspect that suppliers is not enough, oled screens can produce to meet the demand for the new iPhones to meet. It is for Apple, therefore, be wiser to only the iPhone 8 Plus equipping it with an oled screen, so that the company, in each case for the regular model large deficits can occur.
