    Finally! Apple usually always desires to utilize the best technology in their mobile products. LCD is an inferior display technology. 

    OLED is superior to conventional LCD. Every time I see a Samsung Galaxy S7, I lust after the display. 

    JDI and Sharp have failed. Their LCD display technology is interior to the best that LG and Samsung have to offer. 

    I myself am purchasing a 65 inch LG OLED television with 4K resolution. It is the best television display my eyes have ever seen. 

    As far as longevity goes, those Korean OLED handsets are lasting long enough and well past my upgrade intervals and I usually go at least 2 years between upgrades. 

    JDI and Sharp are no longer competitive. Now if Apple would dump the inferior Sony camera for a Samsung or LG built one, the phone would have superior technology in all aspects. 

    I've seen the difference in the Apple vs. Samsung displays along with the difference in picture quality. The Samsung handset is better and the difference isn't slight. 

    If it weren't for the fact that the other handsets use the spyware OS known as Android, I would already have switched. 

    Taking excellent photos to go along with a great display is worth it to many people. And why Samsung is at the top of Android hardware although LG also makes some very nice phones also. 
    You need to look at tests on iPad Pro 9.7" screen done by Display Mate lately and talk. This screen soon will be in the next iPhone. I don't see much benefit to switch to OLED in term of display quality. Btw, Samsung Galaxy screen is oversatuated with colors!

    The Best AMOLED is slightly better the Best LCD, and it is slightly cheaper, hence the reason why the report / rumors were formed.

    JDI is extremely competitive, but now being hurt by exchange rate ( The strange way of negative interest rate works ) Sharp is crap, as usual.

    Your LG OLED is based on WOLED, far difference to the we are AMOLED talking about here.

    Samsung NOR LG make any Camera moduels that is even close to Sony's quality.

    People really need to learn what is BETTER in screen quality, oversatuated colours is definitely not, But then again some prefer that AWFUL headset of Beat rather then something like B&W.

    From the potential of MicroLED which was mention in CES, and how Panasonic shown what LED LCD is capable of, along side with some recent innovation of JDI, it is likely LED LCD will continue to hold up against OLED for the next few years. ( Though VR is an Killer Apps for OLED ) How the cost will pay out is the key here, WOLED from LG seems to have a very aggressive pricing roadmap.

    Only if you like oversaturated colours and don't choose the accurate colour profile in the settings.  It's like me claiming the call volume of an 6s is too loud, where you might point out a user just has to turn the volume down.

    I think  the OLED screens will appear on the iPhone 7 this year.  it wouldn't surprise me if Apple took advantage of the wider colour gamut and introduced an RGB colour profile and had the camera use that instead of sRGB, then they could do a Retina style marketing effortl to point out how the camera and display are capable of rendering a wider range of colours than is possible with sRGB limited phones.  Samsung have an RGB mode on their Tab 10.1 which leverages the wider gamut of the display so if you set a decent camera to shoot RGB instead of sRGB and display the results on the TAB, you get a 17% potential increase in colour information.

    You haven't seen or owned any newer AMOLED screen, they are no longer oversaturated with the default profile Samsung calibrated.  The screens have excellent contrast which is why any iPhone owner switching to Samsung touts the screens clarity, sharpness, and color as major reason for going to Samsung.   I haven't seen many folks switching back to iPhone after going Samsung.  Apple knows this too so they are buying the Edge panel from Samsung.

    It's another bandwagon move by Apple but Apple faithfuls are ok with Apple following and no longer leading.

    iPhone owners switched to Samsung Galaxy for screen quality. You need to stop the bullshit. Screen alone won't make people switch the ecosystem with hundreds of dollars invested in apps. You must be one of those fandroids. Please.
