Will Apple Use Samsung’s AMOLED For iPad 3?
Rumor has it that Apple’s COO Tim Cook has recently made a trip to South Korea to discuss the possibility of using Samsung’s AMOLED displays for the next generation of iPads. According to The Korea Herald:
“Apple wants to tap into Samsung’s AMOLED technology for an upgraded version of the iPad2, considered as many as the iPad3 that is likely to be launched toward the end of this year. During Cook’s trip last week, Apple seems to have offered Samsung an advance for the AMOLED displays.”
This rumor seems a little off for a couple of reasons. For one what with the lawsuits between Apple and Samsung regarding patent infringement, it seems rather ironic that Apple would be courting Samsung to use their products for the next iPad. Next the AMOLED display is one of the features that Samsung has been heavily advertising and using as a key feature in order to push their devices out, so why would Samung allow Apple to use their display and create competition with themselves?
Lastly if the rumors are true, Apple would be the first company to push out a tablet device with AMOLED display, and this is before Samsung, the ones who own the AMOLED display, get their own versions out on the market. With all rumors it’s best taken with a pinch of salt, although a shred of truth might be in there. After all one of the features I felt was missing from the iPad 2 would be the lack of a nice crisp display. In fact many Apple fans out there were hoping that they would be seeing the Retina display being used for the iPad 2, so it’s not much of a stretch to think that Apple is indeed shopping around for some new displays for their next iPad.
Now here’s an iPhone 6S case that will certainly turn heads, especially when you take into consideration its name which is known as the OnePlus iPhone 6S case. That’s rather weird, don’t you think so? It will certainly take some getting used to before the name rolls off your tongue naturally. Well, we do know that The OnePlus iPhone 6S case can now be purchased for $19.99 a pop, and no, you do not need any kind of invite before you can snag one for yourself.
Each purchase will also be accompanied by an invitation to purchase a OnePlus X, just in case, you know, you would like to tread the Android waters. All in all, it comes in the kind of material as found on the OnePlus One and OnePlus X, which makes it a whole lot harder to lose grip of when you hold it – which is good!
If you are on the lookout for either the iPhone 6S or the iPhone 6S Plus, then here is news for you – chances are pretty high that you can pick up either one, or perhaps even both if you are feeling fat in the pocket, this coming September 18th. First of all, there was a leaked internal memo from Vodafone alongside Japanese site ITHome and German tech experts Macerkopf claiming that the new iPhones 6S models will roll out this coming September 18th in their respective countries
With Japan, Germany and the UK being tier one Apple launch countries, this means that those living in the mentioned countries will receive the iPhones at the same time as folks living over in the US – traditionally speaking, of course. There really isn’t that much time left to wait, as it is less than a month away, and I am quite sure that the time will pass by sooner than you think.
It looks like the folks over at Digitimes have come up with their own interpretation of things to come – that there will be no iPad Air 3 released, at least for this year. Digitimes has had their fair share of hits and misses in the past, so it would be best to take this rumor concerning the non-release of the iPad Air 3 in 2015 with a pinch of salt.
Digitimes also laid claim that the iPad mini 4 will not be as supercharged as some of the rumors that had been going around, as it will bring with it only small and incremental upgrades when compared to its predecessor, the iPad mini 3. This does not seem to bode well for fans of the compact tablet, taking into consideration how the iPad mini 3 itself was improved over its predecessor with a new Touch ID fingerprint reader.
Since Apple tends to roll out a new iPad in October, we will just have to sit tight and see whether this particular rumor has enough “legs” to run.
