Report: Next iPhone expected to have curved OLED


The Wall Street Journal:

An iPhone with an OLED screen could be introduced as one of several models to be unveiled, people familiar with the matter said, but would come with a higher price tag because OLED displays are more expensive to produce.

Apple might decide not to release the model because it is one of more than 10 prototypes being considered, the people said.

The next iPhone seems to have more hype earlier than previous cycles. Perhaps it's Apple aggressively working prototypes, perhaps it's Apple's loosened gripe on its supply chain, or simply the next iPhone is expected to be big after the iPhone 7's physical design was unchanged from previous two generations so to do something big.

Interesting tidbit though is Apple has a lot of irons in the fire it seems. No idea if that's typical or if those prototypes are all that different from each other.
