WSJ: Apple's iPhone 8 to Have Curved OLED Screen, Adopt USB-C for Charging
Read MoreHide Full Article
On Tuesday, the Wall Street Journal reported that Apple Inc. (AAPL - Free Report) will release a special edition of its upcoming iPhone 8 that features a curved OLED screen, according to anonymous sources.
Allegedly, there will be three different version of the new iPhone, but just the high-end version will have the curved OLED display. OLED stands for organic light-emitting diode, and is made with organic compounds that light up when fed electricity; they can be made to be extremely thin, small, and very flexible. This iPhone is rumored to cost $1,000.
OLED screens are used by its top rival, Samsung, which has a curved screen on some of its smartphone models like its Galaxy S7 Edge.
The other two versions of the new iPhone will match Apple’s familiar refresh cycle, notes the WSJ, and will likely be iPhones 7S and 7S Plus with LCD screens.
The newspaper, also citing sources, reports that the next iPhone will use USB-C for charging rather than the company’s proprietary Lightning connection, which they introduced back in 2012. Apple has already adopted USB-C, an industry standard, on its MacBook line of products.
