Apple Explores Bendable OLED For iPhone 8

The Cupertino tech giant is rumored to be working on a bendable display for the upcoming iPhone 8. Although Apple iPhone 8 may not be the first smartphone in the market to sport a curved display, it is certainly an inspiration for other smartphone manufacturers who follow the top brand, as reported by BGR news.

Google, Microsoft & Apple Are Looking for OLED Partners

Recent reports from Korea indicate that Apple, Google, and Microsoft are planning to work with LG for OLED panels that not only allows for curved displays but a foldable one.

Samsung Display is presently the prime OLED screens supplier for the curved display rumored to be featured in the iPhone 8. However, looks like there is going to be a bit of competition between LG and Samsung for Apple iPhone 8 OLED display orders in the coming years. Apple is expected, to begin with, mass-production of foldable OLED screens. This will allow Apple to come up with iPhones and iPads featuring curved or foldable displays.

Users can expect Bendable Pixel and Surface Phones

LG Display is working on a mass-production of foldable OLED displays for Apple and other giant players such as Google and Microsoft. If these rumors turn out to be true, users can expect a Pixel or a Surface phone with bendable display phone shortly, as reported by iDropnews.

The Microsoft Surface Phone release date and spec have seen a lot of speculation and rumors over past few months. The rumors of Microsoft foldable phone cannot be brushed aside. 

LG & Samsung May Compete Each Other

However, it is not yet known when and if these companies will launch their devices featuring curved or foldable screens. In either case, LG is going to face some stiff competition for Samsung to capture the iPhone 8 foldable screen market.
