    OLED uses less power only when they display black content because the pixels are off. However, OLED actually consumes more power than LCD when displaying whites and bright content. And we all know Android and iOS nowadays uses a lot of white on their UI. So the power savings from OLED is pretty much rendered useless by UI design.

    Well, Apple sources its displays from Samsung so I think the actual reason was some sort of a contract between Apple and Samsung.
    OLED is going down in price as of now. But the thing is, Samsung is now working on Micro LED which is the next step up from OLED. Micro LED doesn't have that organic aspect of OLED therefore the burn in and other cons of OLED are not an issue with micro LED. Just wait a few years and watch Samsung start releasing micro LED 4K TV, smartphones, etc. only for Apple to release it on their computers and smartphones a few years after Samsung.

    I would also say that a huge reason as to why Apple didn't make the switch sooner is that OLED's did not exhibit the color accuracy, longevity, or brightness of quality LCD panels just a few years ago. It wasn't until recently that the relatively young OLED technology matured enough to have almost no compromises compared to LCD, other than cost of difficulty of manufacture, which will of course improve over time as you pointed out.

      OLED is trash. No amount of deep Black levels is worth dealing with burn-in, oversaturated colors, much lower peak brightness for HDR, and much shorter lifespan compared to LCD.
      There's a reason Samsung abandoned OLED TV's years ago and has now moved into working with Micro LED.

    As an OLED phone owner, after my screen got hit at a very specific place, my entire screen had display issues caused by that OLED display.

  • @BlackBullPistol
    @BlackBullPistol 6 років тому

    Good video. Some more info: LCD lasts longer than Oled because of it's organic pixel structure it will fail eventually and become unstable so it produces at the end "dead pixels" and "stuck pixels" and this is visible as a burn-in, black spots, colored lines, dimmed spots, individual stuck pixels/no pixels, flickering etc.
    LCD's can also fail but more or less liquid cristals don't suffer changes in it's structure on it's own, it can have a burn-in but because of an external heat source, it can have "mura" effect where there are white or dark spots (bad process during manufacturing), lines and dead pixels because of a bad IC.
    The new MicroLED wont have such issues like Oled and will also be better than both LCD and Oled screen types today :-)

    Oled screens are for a Fact not more power efficient as LCD screens. They are just as power efficient or the difference is barely noticeable. In some conditions like when the background or a lot of the image the screen needs to show is black, the OLED screen is more power efficient because a big part of the screen doesn’t use power while the LCD screen needs to turn on a big part of it’s screen to blackout the white backlight. But in other situations like an image with bright colors or if the background is white, LCDs are more efficient with a bigger margin because then the OLED screen needs to have all of it’s pixels lit up while the LCD only needs to have part of it’s screen aside from the backlight turned on to display another color than white. While this difference isn’t noticed when both screen’s brightness is less than 250 nits, the difference is very noticeable on very bright screens like the MacBook Pro’s screen of 500 nits or the iPhone XS Max display of 725 nits the difference is very noticeable.

    I don’t think it all comes down to price of manufacture. There are so many factors why Apple doesn’t adopt it early. In a keynote in the 2000s, Steve said the LCD is more reliable and durable than OLED, meaning OLED wasn’t matured yet... not just the price to manufacture. There are also other factors which includes quality of OLED itself not up to Apple’s standards.

    You’re wrong, Apple has the capacity to have made their phones in the past OLED, the reason they did not has nothing to do with what you’ve said and I have no clue where you’re getting your information. OLED displays, because each pixel emits its own light, suffer from what’s called burn in. Only until recently did OLED technology get advanced to the point where Apple feels comfortable enough to put it in their phones. Burnin causes stationary images or icons that is usually in one part of the screen to stay imprinted onto the screen even after navigating away from the image or icons. Now OLED still isn’t perfect and Apple’s new phones, along with other major manufacturers using OLED, will suffer from burnin if used with a stationary image on the screen for too long. Apple simply waited for the technology to advance to the point where burnin will not be a concern of the consumers.

      Bee Vang lol yep! OLED was still not perfect enough that Apple used software to combat burn-ins
      Someone in Korea replaced the screen on the X because he felt the burn-in was excessive. The replaced screen, however, portrayed the same burn-in but of the opposite color. Seems like depending on the time you used your device, the phone calibrates the color/brightness of each pixels to minimize burn-in users may experience.

    is it posbile to change the display type, from an ips to a oled? or is a sofware that blocks that possibility?

    Are the OLED displays transparent with a black backing that can be removed?

    I was really hoping to see them show that iPhone X OLED panel torn down and how it folds back on itself.

    you mentioned that oled are flexible right??.. last night i dropped my oled phone and saw a crack across the screen.. without any external cracks.. just inside.. what could be the problem?? also the cracks are thick and when hit by light.. doesnt shine.
