Now, according to the latest report by the Korea Herald, the iPhone 8 will be shipping with a plastic OLED display produced by arch-enemy Samsung that curves ‘all over’ instead of the all-glass design. The OLED display is expected to have highly improved picture quality and will also be lighter and thinner than conventional screens. “The OLED version of the new iPhone will all be curved as Apple ordered all plastic OLED — not glass — from Samsung Display. Samsung is capable of supplying a little less than 100 million units of curved OLED displays to Apple,” a source familiar with the matter told The Korea Herald. “Samsung is capable of supplying a little less than 100 million units of curved OLED displays to Apple.
