An OLED display on an iPhone? Awesome! The color and viewing angle performance of OLED’s will beat the socks of an LCD. It is also a self emitting display that uses less power than LCD’s and is also thinner since no backlight is necessary. There is the possibility of a thinner package as well as extended battery life. I find it amazing that Apple is able to maintain the current price structure and increase features and improve performance. Way to go Apple!
