“We anticipate Apple will adopt a flat implementation of OLED design on their special iPhone model, which is analogous to the current 2.5D glass design.”

He further added.

Before, rumors were being circulating that Apple is designing a special iPhone with a curved 5.8-inch edge-to-edge OLED display. The iPhone 8 is said to be the tech giant’s handset to celebrate the 10th anniversary of its famous smartphone series. But Lam’s statement contradicts the guess. That the iPhone 8 will come with a curved display same as that of Samsung Galaxy phones.

Instead, Lam said that users can anticipate a device that’s much similar to LG’s G6 flagship phone.

“Much like the recently announced LG G6, we anticipate a touchscreen with a new longer aspect ratio design to take advantage of higher coverage area of the iPhone in its entirety. This new design language is expected to become the trend for 2017, as we all anticipate Samsung’s reveal later this month.”

Lam explained.

Wayne Lam also added that the next-generation iPhones may have a Touch ID or fingerprint scanner embedded into their display panels. All of this will be confirmed when the new iPhone is introduced. So let’s wait and see what other interesting update we get to hear about the upcoming phones. Till that keep visiting our website for more details and information.
