Apple Looks To Introduce OLED Displays In iPhone Models From 2018 (thestack.com)
An anonymous reader writes: Apple is expected to integrate organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display technology in its iPhone handsets from 2018. The Cupertino-based giant will jump from liquid crystal display (LCD), which has been used in iPhones since 2007, to OLED – turning to suppliers like LG Displays, according to Japanese reports. The switch follows the steps of other smartphone makers such as Samsung and LG, which have both already integrated OLED technology in their mobile device ranges.

Plus, Apple, in 2015, is still not able to provide Macbooks with matte screens. Working while watching a mirror for hours is an eye killer..
Slashdot, fix the reply notifications... You won't get away with it...
And people flipped shit when they thought there was a big difference in CPU quality. It turned out that this was completely overblown after people did more testing, but it didn't stop it from devolving into a complete shit show for a few days. Imagine if they used different manufacturers for their OLEDs and one had slightly better color accuracy. The baboon screeching and shit flinging would never cease.
Yes, it's called the internet .. that's kind of what if does.
And it's been like that since before you could explain it to your mom.

Yes but now that Apple is doing it, clearly Samsung is copying something that Apple invented.
Couple thousand? i9100 sold more than 40 million units. i9300 has sold over 80 million units. i9500 sold 40 million within the first 6 months of release. Need I continue?
No this is the point where the morons who didn't know what they were talking about, they suddenly shut up and you don't see them posting in this thread again. Suddenly the cat's got their keyboard-tongue. Never do they say "hey, you made a compelling point, I was all wrong and didn't remotely have any acquaintence with the facts, thanks for setting me straight on this". Such grace is beyond the reach of douchebags who shoot off at the mouth because their feelings are offended at hearing the truth.
Only a sucker buys products from a company that boasts of a high markup on their products.
It's just weird when people come on here praising Apple, as consumers of Apple products, with this as one of the 'virtues' they prize.
Is there some sort of secret form of self esteem boost that comes of proudly proclaiming that you are a sucker for a company?
You don't buy soda or bottled water?
I'd lean towards this explanation, and not just in the matter of OLED displays. Over the years, I've noticed a trend of faulty hardware from Samsung. Samsung refrigerator/freezer whose temperature control is prone to go nuts after power outages (usually it stops bothering to cool the contents despite the temerature controls working and showing the current temerature accurately, though on one occasion getting stuck "on" and freezing everything in the fridge. Also, the ice maker ironically freezes up so it can't make ice), camera with a lens/focussing flaw that renders everything outside of a small circle in the center of every photo out-of-focus (sent in in for RMA, got it back unchanged a few weeks later with a note to make sure the battery was fully charged when using, WTF?), Galaxy "Mesmerize" (Galaxy S for US Cellular) whose 3G/wifi/gps/bluetooth radio would regularly completely die until the phone was power-cycled (its replacement actually was okay). My current phone is a Galaxy S4 (running Optimized CyanogenMod 12.1) that I'm actually pretty pleased with, but its USB port failed within a few months and I can't transfer data over it (it still charges and I can easily transfer data via sftp, so I haven't gotten around to getting the $5 replacement port and ripping the phone apart to fix it yet).
Samsung's Quality Control sucks. If I'd had the option of any other rootable phone from another manufacturer when I got the S4 I'd have gone with it instead, but US Cellular's selection is pretty meager. I'm just glad "have to use something other than USB to transfer files" is the only real problem I've had with it.
