I hope iSheeps can now admit that they don't have any single original parts except for their micro-chips and/or software. :-)

Their cameras are from Sony, and now their displays are from Samsung.

    Apple needs Samsung

    Samsung wins :D

                            Why buy from Samsung when they can "innovate" an OLED display out of air. Bad Apple!!

                              Someone Else, 13 Feb 2017160 million AMOLED displays so far. So, correct me if I... moreAccording to the original source that is correct. $4.3B for 60M panel. Not sure why the cost is so high. According to market price early lasy year a 5" 1080p amoled panel cost only $14.30. Unless Apple order a bigger screen with higher resolution then Samsung price is definitely 5 times costlier. Maybe it includes royalties charge. Afterall, Samsung the only one in the world making Superamoled panel.

                                      Something tells me that the next iPhone is gonna be so daaammmmnn expensive, that the iSheeps are gonna be forced to buy Android.
