Samsung are rumoured to have a high end phone out in 2017 with a folding 4K OLED screen. Apple need to up the pace a bit.
The five new flagships will include the Galaxy S8, the Galaxy S8 edge, the Galaxy Note 7, the Galaxy Note 7 edge,
as well as the Galaxy X. The first four flagships are said to use a
2.5K resolution Super AMOLED display with an RBG subpixel
arrangement. The Galaxy X is going to be Samsung’s foldable smartphone and is going to feature a 4K display with diamond PenTile subpixel arrangement. It was almost a year ago when we reported that Samsung was working on Project Valley, its foldable smartphone, and recent reports out of Korea suggest that this handset might finally be launched in 2017.
It’s believed that this device will easily be foldable in half, like a wallet, making it much easier to carry it in a pocket.
What's the whole thing about the curved screen? OLED screens can be built out as flat screens. The contrast is superior to conventional LCD and the panel consumes much less energy when the background is black.
OLED allows for curved screens, but Apple could easily build them as flat screen devices.
A foldable phone that enlarges into a large screen device would be of great utility. Samsung will be introducing such devices. Apple absolutely needs to be doing something similar.
No matter the screen or hardware, I would never purchase an Android device but I might purchase Samsung hardware running Tizen.
Because not seeing the whole screen distortion and being failure proof is such a big advantage?
You do know that Apple sells a hell of a lot more of the high end phones than well anyone else. Who's going to build these 230M Oled phone, you're grandma?
Well, if others can do it, why not Apple? Oled have been there for years. They should have seen that coming and invest in the future. They're getting slow and behind the curve.
Hey, bud, OLED was a piece of shit years ago. It only started being decent lately. So cut the crap. No one produces one 1/5 the number of OLED Apple needs, that's a fracking fact.

Samsung introduces loads of useless turds, Apple "needs" to introduce things that actually are usefull. Contrast is superior since reflectivity of most phone screens are high you lose most of it. In bright light, because of the higher needed output, screens STILL degrade significantly which of course if not worrying to people buying phones they trash in 2-3 years. Because you need more pixels with Pentile type screens, you lose all the battery advantage (and even lose some) that you gained. The screen in the Ipad Pro is superior to the phones with OLED despite being a LCD.

Displaymate's review of the Galaxy Note 3 in 2013:
"OLED display technology is now challenging and even exceeding the performance of the best LCDs across the board in brightness, contrast, color accuracy, color management, picture quality, screen uniformity, and viewing angles. OLEDs are also considerably thinner than LCDs but still cost considerably more to manufacture."
What do you think of the rumors that the A10 chipset will be 50% to 100% faster than the A9 and that graphics performance will also be improved. Some people are saying it will even be a better phone than the 6S. I hope I know soon.

Hard to say. The release gap between the A8X (iPad Air 2) to the A9X (iPad Pro 9.7) was 18 months and the performance bump was not nearly that big.
Bullshit! Apple will not introduce a curved screen for the simple fact that there is absolutely no need for it. It's a worthless gimmick.
So why have Apple filed several patents for devices with curved OLED screens? Are they just being patent trolls, patenting stuff in the hope they can profit from someone else wanting to make such things, without having any intention to do so themselves?
Also, for those rubbishing OLED displays, why would Apple be spending money on a technology that they thought was inferior and no good? Is it possible they don't share your views? Reminds me of all the people who said Apple shouldn't and wouldn't make a larger screened phone, and certainly never a phablet.
The report noted that hiring at both suppliers had kicked off their
recruitment seasons at least a month earlier than in previous years in
which Apple has launched new iPhones, and that it was the first time in
two years that Foxconn had started recruiting on the mainland as early
as May.
...
The Economic Daily News
reported that the design of the iPhone 7 was more complex than previous
models, which meant that suppliers needed to start work on the new
phone's parts earlier than on previous iterations, which assembling
staff needed more training than previous.

Challenging is not fucking statistically significantly beating it and those screen still had horrible burn in; so what;s your point buddy., OLED has truly not been competitive in most metrics until 2015 and 2016 : that's it.
You do notice that's this is god damn 2013 and that turd master Samsung introduced the tech when in that a flaming piece of crap. Apple doesn't do that.

Well aren't you just a bundle of joy. I suppose cursing at everyone and demonstrating poor reading comprehension is what you're best at?

Burn-in was not some widespread issue, that's a ridiculous claim and you damn well know it.
Clearly you have problems outside of these forums. There is a lot of anger in your words for no justifiable reason.

I've seen very usefull tools on the curved screens (notifications, apps) and Amoled blows away the best lcd's. It's the future, period. If you prefer the thick bezels I'm fine with it. In my opinion the lcd of the iPhone with its thick bezels looks outdated next to an Amoled screen. Amoled is also easier for the eyes.

I've yet to see anywhere it adds function.
Geekbench 3 Multi-Core:
A8X - 4527
A9X - 5151
13.8% performance gain
GFXbench 3 Manhattan Offscreen:
A8X - 43.5 Fps
A9X - 50.5 Fps
16.1% performance gain
