If they still continue to cheapen out on hardware while other lesser known manufacturers are giving you all the bells and whistle, then it's not acceptable, especially for an expensive device.

      You simply can't get enough good yields on new tech. That's a fact.
      If you want to pay more to get less you are a bad CEO and will be fired for sure.

        But he was wrong. Analysts believe that this year apple will become the biggest purchaser with above 150M OLED panels compared to last year when the number was lower (115M), although still impressive.

          Now that most Android phones have High refresh rate panels, the cost of these panels has gone down. Apple implementing High refresh rate panel 2-3 years back would have meant they had to pay high costs for the same.
          High manufacturing cost = low profit for the company.

                Anonymous, 31 May 2021At least 150 mi. How many oled iphones are sold per year?... moreI still don't see where u got that number from.
                And why are you asking me-"How many oled iphones are sold per year?"
                You were the one who stated that number, and also the older cheaper models like xr, se2, 11 still sold more than others with oled. Plus how many replacement panels do u think they order, 1:1? I think it might be closer to 1:10 or even lower.

                            It is just lack of interest to use on iphone.
                            Scrolling fast is so useless.

                              Also, they need extra panels for replacement.

                                    In reality, Apple is at the mercy of Samsung for their screens not the other way around as you mentioned
