    and when push comes to shove then OLED is not even the future anymore. Now it is MLED (MicroLED).

              You all hate it but still talk about it all the time, just waiting for a chance to write a sentence of whining all over the internet.

              And no, apple is not dying. They still have plenty of money to make you haters miserable, I hope you enjoy it :)

                        why are apple not responsible for cost if they ordered this amount? if I did a order of 20,000 cream buns I would be expected to pay not just turn round and say I only want half of them because the others did not sell.

                                    Goes to show, iPhone X is just an over-rated and over-rated item. Why would you pay$1000 for something that's harder to unlock, less secured with face id, no basic headphone jack, and an ugly blackened distracting horizontal notch on the screen area. Just bad design.

                                        I have no idea why would they expect the iPhone X to be so popular to increase their OLED capacity and pay 12B $ for it. That is outlandish.

                                        The problem is they can't even use those displays anymore, as they are very specific to the iPhone X. I hope they use the manufacturing capability for other displays, though.
