    Vaio Agent, 01 Nov 2016Apple Fans claim that OLED, Fake Color! Easy Burn IN! Yello... moreThis time it will be innovative!

    BTW none in his right mind says thst calibrated oleds have fake colors. They are the only screens bought by image quality specialists/lovers. They have a similar position in movie-philes as Plasma did before it. Only (tech) peasants buy LCDs (now or ever)

            AnonD-594353, 01 Nov 2016I hate curved displays because they count the curved sides ... moreThe curved parts are still used normally. Its just that nobody puts meaningful content on the edges.

            But yeah, you're totally right about it being fragile. Its why I'd rather it was flat too. I've never dropped a phone before, but still want assurance.

                It's all new iOLED tech. The curved screen concept was Apple's own patent next, Samsung went into the future and stole the tech from Apple. And said time traveling tech, also Apple's. They are the leaders in innovation in all technology, past present or future.

                  I hate curved displays because they count the curved sides in the measurement. Thus, a 5.5" curved phone will have less usable space than a flat 5.5".

                  Oh, and glass is brittle -- curves are not going to be able to deal with any flex.

                  But hey, it looks fancy, I guess.

                    Apple Fans claim that OLED, Fake Color! Easy Burn IN! Yellowish White Color! why apple still choose OLED?

                        It's about time for Apple to implement OLED the proper way.

                            Anonymous, 01 Nov 2016Too all bagging Apple for not innovating. You could say the... moreNo, Apple do what they always do, they tell you what inovation they don't want you to have. The next iPhone is a proof in point, it will be oled or amoled, it could be a Sharp, Samsung or LG who provide the display.

                            But I thought all iPhones will never need a display greater than 326ppi, because Apple say the human eye can not see the detail !!!

                            It seems they can, and the iPhone 7 could of had a better display.

                              Someone Else, 01 Nov 2016Are you freaking serious bro?!! Removing the headphone jack... moreWhen you're right you're right

                              So yeah a moved screen since I have gathered SGS 2.

                              What I do is spend possibly a month before I buy a new phone and then I keep it
                              About a year later many phone are being released that have better specs

                              Samsung have many phones on which to speed features
                              As Apple not it cannot give all the features, so that is why the slowest in adding new features

                              Even I am aware of which iPhone are due to colour
                              My point is that Apple owners are " made to feel guilty and some even Buy an iPhone every year
                              Which is odd given the few changes that have been added. So give it is a flagship phone shows intent to delay

                              So for latest software
                              In some cases, you can find an app appstore.
                              So I am not going to upgrade because the processor is slightly faster a couple more mega pixel, wireless charging which is useless or impractical in the city centre
                              Faster charge I don't know as I can get + 60 in 60 minutes when nearly discharged, but 40% +60 fully charged is 90+ minutes (I think same result measured when low or depleted

                                curved is nice but won't last long until flexible is up in the market.
