Apple is considering the possibility of introducing displays that use the much lower battery power in their iPhone line, starting in 2027, according to the new ELEC report.
Each iPhone screen has millions of tiny switches that control each pixel. Right now, Apple uses two different types of these switches: some of them are effective, but slow, while other fast but thirsty power. But by 2027, Apple can replace more hungry food switches with effective ones. The disadvantage is that more effective oxide switches respond more slowly, so Apple in some way will have to balance performance with efficiency.
Since thinner phones have fewer opportunities for large batteries, compress each efficiency from the screen is crucial. Therefore, the iPhone Pro models, which are thicker and can correspond to large batteries, probably will not immediately get a new display technology. In other words, Apple considers power saving as more important for ultra -thin devices. This probably gave Apple the confidence in scaling technology on displays the size of the iPhone. LG is faced with a greater problem, since in general it produces less OLED screens compared to Samsung.
