The demands of VR are pushing display tech to the extremes, which everyone will benefit from in the end. In that case only seems to be poorer longevity/burn in for OLEDs, but it's easily enough for phone lifespans now.

Wrong. It is the processing/scaler that is holding current OLED TV's/monitors back. OLED tech itself can easily get to sub 1ms, and this is part of the reason it is so popular in VR headsets currently.

They should move forward and release iPhone with microLED display fast as it can.

Genza, 08 Jun 2017As far as I know from all major/well known manufacturers on... moreIt's gonna be more expensive than IPS, but not as much as OLED, 'cause manufacturing microLEDs are far less complex than making an OLED.
The technology is just still exclusive for Sony, which is why it costs much. But when Apple and other manufacturers get them, Sony can reduce down its price within no time.

As far as I know from all major/well known manufacturers only Sony that has been able to make a microLED display and if you're rich enough you can already buy it right now.
But I'm sure the microLED display is still quite expensive to produce or even difficult to mass-produce because otherwise Sony would have offered it to Apple.

Once Apple do this, they finally be able to beat Samsung at their own game.
Crystal LED is seriously way better than OLED - cheaper, more efficient, no trade-offs.

AnonD-39937, 08 Jun 2017Ok , it has the blacks of the OLED, the high luminance and ... moreTotally nothing.
Blacks of OLED, whites of IPS.
Even lower power consumption than OLED or IPS.
And free aspect ratio, means can do an ala-LG second screen without light bleeding.
And as its name suggests, the pixels are micrometer in size, means it's harder to see the individual pixels, which is perfect for VR.
Only thing to know yet is if it's capable of DayDream VR, and if it does, literally this will be the true perfect display technology of this millenium.

Ok , it has the blacks of the OLED, the high luminance and no burn-out of LCD, but what's the trade-off? No technology is perfect, it must be something except price, let's say it won't have the colours of the OLED right?

Sony already has this.
It's called Crystal LED Integrated Structure or CLEDIS.
Would be unfair because they were one of the pioneers of this technology.

Maybe E ink is next for Apple. That would be something, wouldn't it? (;

Sounds pretty good. The three main disadvantages of OLED are
- dim
- image retention
- expensive
And if microLED solved those, it would be one step further to the ultimate Display technology (LCD has bad viewing angles and light bleeding)
