I never said OLED has worst colors. Rather the opposite, they produce punchier colors which has nothing to do with what I said.

I had iPhone 11 with LCD screen only few days. I could not stand the colors and the low screen resolution. Now I use an iPhone 12 Pro Max and loving it. My next upgrade will be on for iPhone 15 most probably.

      Now is where I would say "Haha Androids had that two years ago" but Androids haven't put the technology into proper use for two whole years.

            This won’t happen next year. All models next year to get the i cutout. Wouldn’t be surprised if it only comes to the iPhone in 2027 as the 20th anniversary iPhone. Just like this i cutout will most probably be the 15th anniversary design

              Anonymous, 22 Mar 2022This would be a huge W for iPhone users, but didn't di... moreApparently, only the Face ID components will be tucked under the screen. It'll still retain the punch-hole for the selfie camera.

              Apple may be trying to hedge their bets. Samsung should finally shift to UDCs in the S line in 2024/2025. A seamless, no-bezel display in the S line will compel Apple to make a design statement, as they did with the iPhone X after Samsung threw the gauntlet with the S8 Infinity Display.

              Unfortunately, nothing will beat a bezelless display without cutouts or notches, which is why they're making design changes every year or so. Last year they shrunk the notch. This year, they'll switch to a double cutout. If this rumors is correct, they'll move on to a single punch hole. As such, whenever Samsung opts to add a next-gen UDC, they'll be ready with an answer.

              It'll also help sales as visual changes will push more people to upgrade sooner. Meanwhile, I expect Samsung to keep the same design for the next three years, which I can assure you will be criticized, even though Apple has done that for ages.

              Can't wait for the notchless, quad-curved S26 Ultra.

                Thank you Apple! I'm truly looking forward to this in androids!

                  For me it's exactly the opposite. I've been using IPS LCD phones and then switched to Samsung S series. It's like I've been using black and white displays before discovering colors! I'm so much in love with the Dynamic Mode in display settings! I've tried to use it in Basic Mode but I just have the feeling of using a cheap phone with those 'natural colors' only. Bleah! 🤮
                  I'm never switching back to LCD.

                            Yay, more rumors that won't come to fruition like the return of TouchID for iPhones.

                              The 15 pro will still have a punch hole camera. This is only for the FaceID sensors.

                              It's interesting to see the development of this technology in such a short time, but I don't care as much anymore. I don't use the UDC at all and I never notice the pixelated area. I'm mostly interested in slimming down the Fold and increasing the battery life.

                                If this turns out to be true....it is good that Apple has finally begun to move faster in terms of design changes.

                                        Not that I'd buy an iPhone. I'm more excited that Apple will set the trend for cutout-free displays.
