By Roger Fingas Thursday, March 01, 2018, 09:35 am PT (12:35 pm ET) Samsung is once again said to ship only half the number of OLED panels to Apple because of iPhone X order cuts as a result of poor demand, a questionable report again claimed on Thursday. Samsung is expecting its 2018 operating profits from displays to fall short of some analyst estimates, Bloomberg's sources added. The company is said to be committed to OLED however, and not feeling any pressure to cut parts prices. The cost of OLED is one reason the technology hasn't been more widely adopted, and one of the reasons the iPhone X starts at $999. Whereas the 5.5-inch LCD on the iPhone 8 Plus costs Apple about $52, IHS Markit estimates that the 5.8-inch OLED panel on the iPhone X is worth more than double —$110. Expenses could go still higher with a rumored 6.5-inch "iPhone X Plus" coming later this year.

JP Morgan cuts estimate of Q1 Apple iPhone X production by 25%, Q2 production by 44%
Over at securities firm JP Morgan, analyst Narci Chang is taking an axe to his estimate of Apple iPhone X production for the first half of 2018. From January through March, Chang now expects Apple to produce 15 million units of the tenth-anniversary model. That is a drop of 5 million handsets (25%) from his original prediction. For the second quarter, the analyst lowered his estimate by a whopping 44%, as he now sees 10 million iPhone X units rolling off the assembly line during the three months. He originally called for 18 million phones to be produced from April through June.Apple hinted at strong iPhone X sales when it announced its fiscal first quarter earnings.

One actually returned it. But all of the people that I know have said they miss TouchID. Once on the iPhone, then FaceID is great for everything else. However the actual login process, everyone has said TouchID is not only faster, but better and more convenient. One said that they wish that Apple would have included TouchID on the back of the X as well. You know like some of the other smartphones that have also gone close to bezel less. posted on 3 days ago, 16:31 3 10. piyath (Posts: 1747; Member since: 23 Mar 2012) They always can opt out for the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus I guess and surely they will.
